During the above forecast period, the sunset occurs approximately 2 to 3 minutes later each day than the previous day at the center of the mentioned streets, and its elevation angle is also slightly lower. When there are no clouds, the 10 minutes before and after the sun hovers at the center of the street offer ideal conditions for viewing the sunset.

Although a sunset is a beautiful evening scene, the sunlight can still be strong. When gazing at it for extended periods, wear dark-tinted sunglasses to protect your eyes from glare. Also, when watching the sunset from the street, be especially mindful of traffic rules and personal safety.
