Got longer

The days have got longer.

Is it a natural sentence? If not, what's the correct sentence please?

Thanks.

It is correct (in AmE "have gotten" would commonly be used; in BrE it is "have got"). In polished writing, you could consider "lengthened" or "grown longer" as slightly more elegant alternatives to "got longer".
