Longest and shortest day in Vijayawada
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 3 months ago, with 13h 6m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 3 months, with 11h 8m.
Between them the day length swings by 1h 58m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 5:32 pm on 23 November; the latest is 6:44 pm on 7 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 5:33 am on 4 June to 6:39 am on 20 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 8m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Vijayawada 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 gap between the longest and shortest day of the year comes to 1h 58m, one of the narrowest swings of any India city on the site.
Between solstices the sunset walks 49° 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 23 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 48 seconds a day.
Being inside the tropics means two zenith passages a year, 6 May and 7 August, when the sun is straight up at solar noon rather than merely high.
The times barely move this week: the shortest day of the year falls on 21 December, in 3 months, so day length is changing by under a minute a day. Sunset shifts just 11 minutes earlier over the next fortnight.
Planning a sunset photo in Vijayawada
Arrive by 5:17 pm. Golden hour opens at 5:32 pm and the sun is down by 6:00 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.
