If you record the position of the Sun at the same time each day, it will make a figure-8 shape called an "analemma" in the sky over the course of a year. Because the earth's axis is continuously changing its orientation relative to the sun, and because the earth's elliptical orbit means that earth's orbital velocity is continuously changing throughout the year, the sun's position in the sky at a given moment of Universal Time will be a little different day after day. In the north, the sun has begun to transit at a lower point each day, a trend that will continue until our northern winter solstice in December. So each day at 3pm the sun will be slightly lower than it was the day before.

There is also an east-west effect that another contributor can explain.

Which day of the week is it today?

If you are reading this today, it is Wednesday, however, if you are reading it tomorrow then today is Thursday; or if you are reading it on tomorrow's tomorrow, today is Friday; but then again, reading it on tomorrow's tomorrow's tomorrow, today is Saturday, and so on. So depending when you are reading this relative to when I wrote it, today is Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday or Tuesday. However, if you look at the history for this question, you will see that I am writing this on the 6th of June 2012 and today (whilst I am writing it) is Wednesday.

If today is tomorrow, then yesterday's tomorrow is today.Another answer: Yesterday's tomorrow is today. This is a fact.
