Days are currently getting shorter in all of the northern hemisphere because we are past the summer solstice continuing to the winter solstice. The tilt of the earth causes days to get longer in the summer and shorter in the winter. The further north or south you are the more extreme these changes are. (near the poles there is a period of a few months where the sun never rises in winter, and never sets in summer)
