Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:27 on 7 June; the latest is 18:58 on 13 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 05:11 on 29 November to 06:49 on 4 July.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in São Paulo different

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.

Between solstices the sunset walks 51° 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.

By the end of September the sun will be setting 9 minutes later than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 19 seconds a day.

Elevation matters at 769 m. The visible horizon drops 0.96°, pushing sunset 4.2 minutes later and sunrise the same amount earlier than a sea-level observer would see.

Planning a sunset photo in São Paulo

Arrive by 17:19. Golden hour opens at 17:34 and the sun is down by 18:04, 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 18:17 and runs to 18:26, the end of civil twilight and 22m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
