Longest and shortest day in Astana
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 3 months ago, with 16h 34m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 3 months, with 7h 52m.
Between them the day length swings by 8h 41m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:06 on 12 December; the latest is 20:33 on 25 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 03:58 on 17 June to 08:18 on 31 December.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 15m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Astana different
Light lingers for 33 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 9 minutes longer than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 51.2°N buys you.
Photographers get 64 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.6× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it SW, June swings it 79° round to NW. Tonight, W.
Sunset drifts 2 minutes earlier each day this month — 66 minutes from the first of September to the last.
Planning a sunset photo in Astana
Arrive by 17:05. Golden hour opens at 17:20 and the sun is down by 18:04, 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 18:24 and runs to 18:37, the end of civil twilight and 32m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
