Longest and shortest day in George Town
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 3 months ago, with 13h 17m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 3 months, with 10h 57m.
Between them the day length swings by 2h 19m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:45 on 25 November; the latest is 19:07 on 5 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 05:46 on 5 June to 07:02 on 17 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 8m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in George Town 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 sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 50° round to WNW. Tonight, W.
Across September the sunset moves 26 minutes earlier, averaging about 53 seconds a day.
Twice a year the sun passes directly overhead here — on 17 May and 27 July — and vertical objects cast almost no shadow at solar noon.
Planning a sunset photo in George Town
Arrive by 17:35. Golden hour opens at 17:50 and the sun is down by 18:19, 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 18:32 and runs to 18:40, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
