Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:47 on 6 December; the latest is 20:22 on 29 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 05:44 on 13 June to 06:17 on 25 October.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Valletta different

Sunset here is followed by about 26 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.

Photographers get 49 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.2× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.

Over a year the sunset point slides 59° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.

Sunset drifts 88 seconds earlier each day this month — 42 minutes from the first of September to the last.

On 25 October 2026 the local clock shifts back an hour and sunset lands at 17:14 instead of 18:15. Worth knowing if you are planning a shoot that week.

Planning a sunset photo in Valletta

Arrive by 18:04. Golden hour opens at 18:19 and the sun is down by 18:53, 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 19:08 and runs to 19:18, the end of civil twilight and 25m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
