Longest and shortest day in Kanpur
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 3 months ago, with 13h 48m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 3 months, with 10h 28m.
Between them the day length swings by 3h 19m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 5:15 pm on 30 November; the latest is 7:05 pm on 2 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 5:15 am on 10 June to 6:58 am on 12 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Kanpur 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.
Evening golden hour runs 45 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 26.5° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.
Between solstices the sunset walks 53° 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 32 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 67 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Kanpur
Arrive by 5:15 pm. Golden hour opens at 5:30 pm and the sun is down by 6:01 pm, 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 6:15 pm and runs to 6:24 pm, the end of civil twilight and 23m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
