Longest and shortest day in Lahore
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 3 months ago, with 14h 12m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 3 months, with 10h 5m.
Between them the day length swings by 4h 7m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:58 on 3 December; the latest is 19:11 on 30 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 04:57 on 12 June to 07:03 on 9 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Lahore different
Sunset here is followed by about 24 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.
Photographers get 47 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.2× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 56° round to WNW. Tonight, W.
Across September the sunset moves 37 minutes earlier, averaging about 77 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Lahore
Arrive by 17:07. Golden hour opens at 17:22 and the sun is down by 17:54, 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 18:09 and runs to 18:18, the end of civil twilight and 24m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
