Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:57 on 10 June; the latest is 19:51 on 10 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 06:23 on 4 October to 06:00 on 5 April.

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

What makes sunsets in Kingston different

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

Photographers get 46 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.2× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.

Between solstices the sunset walks 54° 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.

Across September the sunset moves 15 minutes later, averaging about 30 seconds a day.

Expect a one-off hour-long step in these times on 4 October 2026: sunset goes from 17:50 the evening before to 18:50 that evening.

Planning a sunset photo in Kingston

Arrive by 17:00. Golden hour opens at 17:15 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 18:09, the end of civil twilight and 23m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
