Longest and shortest day in Antananarivo

The longest day falls on 22 December 2026, in 3 months, with 13h 16m of daylight.

The shortest is 21 June 2026, 3 months ago, with 10h 59m.

Between them the day length swings by 2h 16m.

Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:19 on 5 June; the latest is 18:33 on 17 January. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 05:03 on 25 November to 06:23 on 6 July.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Antananarivo 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.

By the end of September the sun will be setting 5 minutes later than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 11 seconds a day.

On 26 January and 17 November the midday sun stands at the zenith, 295 days apart. Those are the only two days of the year with no noon shadow. The next one is in 7 weeks.

At 1,274 m the horizon sits 1.23° lower than at sea level, so the sun sets about 5.2 minutes later here than the standard tables suggest — roughly 10.5 minutes of extra daylight across the day.

Planning a sunset photo in Antananarivo

Arrive by 17:02. Golden hour opens at 17:17 and the sun is down by 17:46, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 268° 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 18:00 and runs to 18:08, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
