Sunrise & Sunset in Baton Rouge During February

February marks a turning point as daylight increases noticeably in Baton Rouge. Each day brings roughly two to three extra minutes of sunlight compared to the day before. The sun climbs higher at noon, strengthening the warmth of midday light. Civil twilight expands on both ends of the day, giving photographers longer golden-hour windows. By late February, evening light lingers well past where it was in January — a clear signal that spring is on the approach.
