Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:38 on 8 December; the latest is 20:49 on 27 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 05:34 on 15 June to 07:37 on 3 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Rome different

At 41.9°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 28 minutes to arrive: 4 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.

The shallow approach angle at 41.9° stretches this evening's golden hour to 54 minutes, against about 40 for a city on the equator today.

Between solstices the sunset walks 65° 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.

Sunset drifts 104 seconds earlier each day this month — 50 minutes from the first of September to the last.

On 25 October 2026 the local clock shifts back an hour and sunset lands at 17:13 instead of 18:15. Worth knowing if you are planning a shoot that week.

Planning a sunset photo in Rome

Arrive by 18:08. Golden hour opens at 18:23 and the sun is down by 19:00, 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 19:17 and runs to 19:28, the end of civil twilight and 27m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
