Longest and shortest day in Brisbane
The longest day falls on 22 December 2026, in 3 months, with 13h 52m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 June 2026, 3 months ago, with 10h 24m.
Between them the day length swings by 3h 28m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 5:00 pm on 9 June; the latest is 6:47 pm on 11 January. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 4:44 am on 2 December to 6:38 am on 3 July.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Brisbane different
Clock noon and solar noon are 21 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 11:39 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.
Sunset here is followed by about 23 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.
Evening golden hour runs 45 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 27.5° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.
Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 3h 28m here — among the narrowest of the 22 cities tracked in Australia.
Between solstices the sunset walks 53° across the horizon — WSW in midwinter, WNW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is W.
Across September the sunset moves 13 minutes later, averaging about 27 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Brisbane
Arrive by 5:00 pm. Golden hour opens at 5:15 pm and the sun is down by 5:45 pm, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west — the sun goes down at 268° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 6:00 pm and runs to 6:09 pm, the end of civil twilight and 23m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
