DECATUR, Ill. (WAND) -Â The "golden hour" in weather refers to the period shortly after sunrise or just before sunset when the sunlight is soft, warm and diffused.
During this time, the sky often features rich, golden hues, and the light creates long shadows and enhances colors, making it ideal for photography and outdoor activities.
The golden hour typically lasts about an hour, but its duration can vary depending on other weather phenomena. It is a beautiful and popular time for capturing scenic and atmospheric images.
Unfortunately, patchy low clouds and fog may obscure the golden hour Thursday morning. But if you are willing to give it a go, the sun rises at 5:36 a.m. Â
Stay weather aware and stay sweaty. Â
