Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:57 on 3 December; the latest is 19:09 on 30 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 04:55 on 12 June to 07:00 on 9 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Yixing 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 31.4° 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.

By the end of September the sun will be setting 37 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 77 seconds a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Yixing

Arrive by 17:05. Golden hour opens at 17:20 and the sun is down by 17:52, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 18:07 and runs to 18:17, the end of civil twilight and 24m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
