The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:16 on 6 December; the latest is 18:53 on 29 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 04:13 on 13 June to 06:43 on 6 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Mashhad different

Sitting on the eastern side of its time zone puts solar noon at 11:22, a full 37 minutes before twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.

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

The shallow approach angle at 36.3° stretches this evening's golden hour to 50 minutes, against about 40 for a city on the equator today.

Over a year the sunset point slides 59° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.

Sunset drifts 89 seconds earlier each day this month — 43 minutes from the first of September to the last.

At 980 m the horizon sits 1.08° lower than at sea level, so the sun sets about 5.4 minutes later here than the standard tables suggest — roughly 10.7 minutes of extra daylight across the day.

Planning a sunset photo in Mashhad

Arrive by 16:34. Golden hour opens at 16:49 and the sun is down by 17:23, 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 17:38 and runs to 17:48, the end of civil twilight and 25m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
