Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 18:06 on 6 December; the latest is 21:42 on 28 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 07:03 on 13 June to 07:37 on 25 October.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Gibraltar different

Clock noon and solar noon are 73 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 13:12 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 14:12.

It takes roughly 26 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.

Photographers get 50 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.3× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.

Between solstices the sunset walks 59° 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 43 minutes earlier, averaging about 88 seconds a day.

The clocks go back on 25 October 2026, so the sunset jumps from 19:34 to 18:33 overnight — the sun has not moved, the clock has.

Planning a sunset photo in Gibraltar

Arrive by 19:23. Golden hour opens at 19:38 and the sun is down by 20:12, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 269° 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 20:28 and runs to 20:38, the end of civil twilight and 25m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
