How long does golden hour last in Ålesund?

Around 87 to 189 minutes each evening. It's shortest in March and September, about 87 minutes, and longest in June, about 189 minutes. In December the sun stays low all day, so the gold merges into one long window or doesn't come at all. The farther from the equator, the longer it lasts, because the sun crosses the horizon at a shallower angle.
