The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:57 on 18 November; the latest is 18:54 on 10 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 06:00 on 31 May to 06:51 on 25 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Kano different

Light lingers for 21 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 3 minutes shorter than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 12°N buys you.

Summer and winter days differ by 1h 24m here, more seasonal variation than almost anywhere else in Nigeria we track.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 48° round to WNW. Tonight, W.

Sunset drifts 40 seconds earlier each day this month — 20 minutes from the first of September to the last.

Being inside the tropics means two zenith passages a year, 22 April and 22 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 9 minutes earlier over the next fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in Kano

Arrive by 17:36. Golden hour opens at 17:51 and the sun is down by 18:19, 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 18:32 and runs to 18:40, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
