When it's so very cold up here in the northern hemisphere, the Sun likes to sleep in... Tomorrow it will be 14 minutes late to sunrise, 14 minutes late to Local Apparent Noon, and 14 minutes late to sunset. More here: https://reednavigation.com/sunslowday/.
I estimate the extreme value of the "equation of time" occurs around 1200 UT tomorrow, 14m 11s slow. It's the far left side of the fat lower loop of the analemma (far right if it's drawn the other way around). The analemma has a way of turning up in funny places...
