Longest and shortest day in Perth
The longest day falls on 22 December 2026, in 3 months, with 14h 14m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 June 2026, 3 months ago, with 10h 3m.
Between them the day length swings by 4h 11m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 5:18 pm on 11 June; the latest is 7:26 pm on 8 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 5:03 am on 4 December to 7:17 am on 1 July.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Perth different
It takes roughly 24 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.
The shallow approach angle at 32° stretches this evening's golden hour to 47 minutes, against about 40 for a city on the equator today.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 56° round to WNW. Tonight, W.
Sunset drifts 37 seconds later each day this month — 18 minutes from the first of September to the last.
Planning a sunset photo in Perth
Arrive by 5:28 pm. Golden hour opens at 5:43 pm and the sun is down by 6:15 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 6:30 pm and runs to 6:39 pm, the end of civil twilight and 24m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
