In October, Minsk will lose over two hours of daylight

On October 1, the sun will rise at around 7:11 and set at 18:46. By the end of the month, sunrise will shift to 8:07, and sunset to 17:38. On average, the daylight period will shorten by about four minutes each day.

Due to this, mornings and evenings will increasingly occur in darkness. Pedestrians and cyclists should turn on lights earlier, and drivers should be more attentive during twilight hours.
