You can download this program. Set it to your location and the
sunrise/sunset times appear on the top right display. You can also use the
mouse to point to anywhere on the world map and the local sr-ss times will
be displayed.

I could download it but neither my mac not my linux box will do it.

Instead point to www.heavens-above.com or www.weatherunderground.com

The pdfs at:

http://www.nao.rl.ac.uk/nao/online/

are useful. They show the twilight times (astronomical and nautical) in
addition to sunrise and sunset. Unfortunately they only have the charts
for Cambridge and Herstmonceux in the UK.

For those who use Firefox, the Forecast extension has options to display sunrise and sunset for
any location you choose. It is a great little extension. http://forecastfox.mozdev.org/

Very nice! The link on that page seems incorrect, though. The
actual link to the extension is

ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/extensions/forecastfox/forecastfox-0.5.9-fx.xpi

It seems to be promoting telling you what the weather is like at the moment.
Personally I just look out of the window.

As well as windspeed (which I can't guess from indoors), it also shows
tonight's and tomorrow's weather, and the tooltips can be customised to
show wind direction, sunrise, sunset, temperature, humidity, visibility,
UV index and more.

Handy little gadget, I reckon.

Sorry, that was the homepage for the extension. I would think their link would work. But
anyways, it works great. 🙂

I am using it currently, and it works great. Not only does ýt does tell you what the whether is
like at the moment and for the next n days (1<n<9), but also it tells you the wind condition,
sunrise and sunset, etc. All you need to do is to customise tooltips.

There are trees that wave in the wind.

Very impressive. I normally can only find predictions of varying accuracy.

OK.. might be enough to persuade me to switch to firefox, if I can persuade
it to import my Safari bookmark list.

There is a way to convert your safari bookmarks to html and from there you can have your
bookmarks in firefox.
Check this --> http://www.neuro-tech.net/safari.cgi

Ah, pas de probleme. For your fine Leenuks box get a copy of Xephem,
<http://www.clearskyinstitute.com/xephem/> -- also included on many
distro CD/DVDs.

Add your actual Lat & Long to ~/.xephem/Xephem thusly:
XEphem.Elevation: 15.0 m
XEphem.Lat: 52:15:40
XEphem.Long: -0:19:40
XEphem.Sitename: Burwell, England
XEphem.TZName: GMT
(or wherever your boat floats)

and Robert is your mother's sister's childrens' father (alleged).

Near the bottom right of the first window click "RT Clock" which is the
default Step, and then select "Sunrise" or "Sunset" as you wish. Then
select calendar entries as required.
