Only if you're in the Southern Hemisphere. For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere it is the longest day of the year. Anyway, try this - it shows you how to measure the length of the day.

shortest "day" only in the northern hemisphere .. it's the longest in the siuthern hemisphere
to find the "length" note the time of sunrise .. note the time of susnset and subtract the first from the second (works best if you use 24-hour notation)
inre "feel like" ... impossible to say .. depends on the person and their mood of the moment

I answered this in the other question, but here it is again..
It sounds to me as if you are looking for something to tell you how much daylight there is each day. Here is a cool little weather site that I go to check the weather (and daylight hours) in Negril, Jamaica.
It works for all major cities around the world. Just type in your city, and country in the box in the upper left corner. It shows all these things: Actual Time, Civil Twilight, Nautical Twilight, Astronomical Twilight, Moon rise, Length Of Visible Light, and the length of Day. It will even tell you how much the next day is different like this: Tomorrow will be 0m 3s shorter.
You can also change the date you are looking for and it will show you the astronomical data for that day.
Try it....you'll like it! Happy viewing!

are you in the southern hemisphere?
check the time at 6:00 am and 6:00 pm. when the sun rises and sets after that time, the days get longer

Today is the longest day if you are in North America. It's the shortest day if you're in Australia.
Look up sunrise- look up sunset- add the hours between each.

Not to be a smart aleck, but I thought all days had the same length...23 hours and 56 minutes.

They will let you print out a calendar of local sunrise/sunset for any location in the world.
