Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:32 on 21 November; the latest is 18:37 on 8 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 05:34 on 2 June to 06:33 on 22 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 7m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Fort-de-France different

At 14.6°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 21 minutes to arrive: 3 minutes shorter than today's 24-minute median.

Between solstices the sunset walks 49° 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 45 seconds earlier each day this month — 22 minutes from the first of September to the last.

Being inside the tropics means two zenith passages a year, 29 April and 13 August, when the sun is straight up at solar noon rather than merely high.

The times barely move this week: the shortest day of the year falls on 21 December, in 3 months, so day length is changing by under a minute a day. Sunset shifts just 10 minutes earlier over the next fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in Fort-de-France

Arrive by 17:14. Golden hour opens at 17:29 and the sun is down by 17:57, 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 18:10 and runs to 18:18, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
