The day is 4 min shorter than yesterday.

Sunshine hours count direct sun only — cloud cover cuts it, so it is shorter than daylight.

Geomagnetic fieldquiet, Kp 2

Kp index — NOAA forecast. Not part of the bite score: catches show no link between geomagnetic storms and the bite.

Solunar feeding periods

Major periodsMinor periods

Minor00:00–00:32Moonrise
Major06:37–08:37Moon overhead
Minor14:18–15:18Moonset
Major19:00–21:00Moon underfoot

The windows are set by the moon's transit and rise, and the forecast above already accounts for them: within these hours the bite score sits higher than across the rest of the day, while the day's overall level still comes from the catch-calibrated model.
