Dave  Mills has a program to compute delays.

 * By default it prints out a summer (F2 average virtual height 350 km) and
 * winter (F2 average virtual height 250 km) number.  The results will be
 * quite approximate but are about as good as you can do with HF time anyway.
 * You might pick a number between the values to use, or use the summer
 * value in the summer and switch to the winter value when the static
 * above 10 MHz starts to drop off in the fall.  You can also use the
 * -h switch if you want to specify your own virtual height.

What's the height difference between night and day?

This was google's first response.
