Smoke haze make it feels like about 8am-5pm. Total about 3 hours lost of intense daylight, in the morning and evening. Even my school will be off on Thursday and Friday.
Europe's sunsets will soon be later than Indonesia's
Well...

Interesting that somebody from Indonesia has an interest in the change in daylight hours throughout the year when you live somewhere where the sun times don't really change much. Most contributors to this thread live in the higher latitudes - it makes sense that we'd take more of an interest given the more drastic differences we get.
The length of days are now quickly gravitating towards 12 hours
Also the solar days are now shorter than the mean clock day and so transit solar noon time is moving earlier each day, but not enough to offset turning the clocks an hour forward.
Just know days are getting longer now very quickly.

The Indonesia times are still subject to the solar noon transit time fluctuation,
Which all over the world, affects sunrise/sunset times by up to 29 minutes "November to February" and 11 minutes of fluctuation (May thru early August)
It's called "equation of time"
Mean solar day and actual solar days are not the same due to axial tilt and earth's elliptical orbit around the sun
This means even in Indonesia, sun will set 30 minutes later on February 14th when compared to November 5th.

Compare to the southernmost (also furthest from the equator) in Indonesia, Dana Island (11S).
