I know that Winter Solstice occurs December 20/21 etc
I can't find anywhere online that states how much time we gain back. There have been people who have mentioned its about a few mintues each day after the Solstice but I am not sure.

Can't wait for the day light to come back! This 4pm and it is dark already thing is really a drag ;)

Have a look at the Wikipedia article to get links to formula to work it out. In most places the length of day changes very little around the solstice, only a few seconds/day, but is a few minutes/day around the equinoxes. Once you notice the days are getting longer, it all seems to go fairly quickly but if you've got 4pm dark now it will be worse until at least last week of January.

Two minutes,8 seconds for a few weeks then slows to two mins 7 seconds. So roughly six hours to the summer solstice. Hope this helps 😃😀

The average is 3 minutes a day in the uk. I say average because days lengthen quicker nearer to the equinox than the solstice.

The amount of daylight you gain on the day after the winter solstice varies depending on what your latitude is.

After the iciness solstice, the days start up getting longer, after the Spring equinox, days are longer than nights. After the summer season solstice, days get shorter, and after the Autumnal equinox, nights are longer than days.
