Milwaukee will kick off 2025 with the latest sunrises of the winter.

On Dec. 31, the sun will rise at 7:23 a.m. in Milwaukee — the latest sunrise the city has seen since Jan. 6, 2024, according to timeanddate.com. In fact, starting New Year's Eve, Milwaukee will see a string of late sunrises that will last through the first week of 2025.
