Earliest sunset in Boston this year (standard assumptions; your atmosphere may vary) is the 9th. In Seattle it's the 11th. (The days still get shorter, they're just shifting later faster than they get shorter.)
I'm not usually up at sunrise, so in practical terms for me it marks the return of the sun. (Really just knowing this makes me feel better; it's not like it's going to be changing noticeably fast for a while but I like knowing it's going in the right direction.)
On the other hand, if you are in Wellington, try not to do anything reckless with that 15 hours of sunlight. You might want to send me a few hours for safekeeping to keep yourself out of trouble. You can totally have some July mornings next year in return.
