Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:49 on 2 December; the latest is 18:51 on 1 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 04:47 on 11 June to 06:43 on 10 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Kuwait City different

On standard time the sun peaks at 11:39, 21 minutes before clock noon, because the city sits near the eastern edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way.

Sunset here is followed by about 24 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.

Photographers get 46 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.2× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.

Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 3h 45m here — among the widest of the 5 cities tracked in Kuwait.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 54° round to WNW. Tonight, W.

By the end of September the sun will be setting 35 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 73 seconds a day.

Of the 5 Kuwait cities tracked here, this one sees the latest sunset today — 0 minutes apart from As Sālimīyah at the other end of the country.

Planning a sunset photo in Kuwait City

Arrive by 16:53. Golden hour opens at 17:08 and the sun is down by 17:40, 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 17:54 and runs to 18:03, the end of civil twilight and 23m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
