Planning around sunrise

Sunrise is not a fixed daily appointment. Its clock time changes gradually over the calendar and depends on the coordinates selected by the calculator. Values for Embu town and the county’s more distant localities can therefore differ slightly.

Elevation and surrounding landforms affect the visible horizon. A published value indicates the astronomical event under a standard horizon model; a slope, ridge or building may delay the first direct sunlight at ground level. Cloud does not change the calculated sunrise, although it can make the moment impossible to see.

Read the sunrise value for the correct date. Choose a nearby town rather than a distant national reference. Account for the route and terrain before dawn travel.
