Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:35 on 3 December; the latest is 19:53 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 05:33 on 11 June to 05:59 on 1 November.

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

What makes sunsets in Mexicali different

Clock noon and solar noon are 27 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 11:33 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 12:33.

It takes roughly 25 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.

Photographers get 48 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.2× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.

Summer and winter days differ by 4h 17m here, more seasonal variation than almost anywhere else in Mexico we track.

Over a year the sunset point slides 56° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.

Across September the sunset moves 39 minutes earlier, averaging about 80 seconds a day.

On 1 November 2026 the local clock shifts back an hour and sunset lands at 16:50 instead of 17:51. Worth knowing if you are planning a shoot that week.

Planning a sunset photo in Mexicali

Arrive by 17:46. Golden hour opens at 18:01 and the sun is down by 18:34, 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 18:49 and runs to 18:58, the end of civil twilight and 24m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
