Longest and shortest day in Port-au-Prince
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 3 months ago, with 13h 14m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 3 months, with 11h 0m.
Between them the day length swings by 2h 13m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:10 on 24 November; the latest is 19:30 on 6 July. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 05:49 on 2 November to 07:02 on 9 March.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 8m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Port-au-Prince different
Sunset here is followed by about 22 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 50° round to WNW. Tonight, W.
Across September the sunset moves 25 minutes earlier, averaging about 52 seconds a day.
The clocks go back on 1 November 2026, so the sunset jumps from 18:16 to 17:16 overnight — the sun has not moved, the clock has.
On 14 May and 30 July the midday sun stands at the zenith, 77 days apart. Those are the only two days of the year with no noon shadow.
Planning a sunset photo in Port-au-Prince
Arrive by 17:58. Golden hour opens at 18:13 and the sun is down by 18:42, 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 18:55 and runs to 19:03, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
