Longest and shortest day in Saint-Denis
The longest day falls on 22 December 2026, in 3 months, with 13h 24m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 June 2026, 3 months ago, with 10h 51m.
Between them the day length swings by 2h 32m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:44 on 6 June; the latest is 19:05 on 16 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 05:28 on 27 November to 06:55 on 5 July.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Saint-Denis different
It takes roughly 22 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.
Over a year the sunset point slides 50° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.
By the end of September the sun will be setting 7 minutes later than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 14 seconds a day.
Twice a year the sun passes directly overhead here — on 17 January and 26 November — and vertical objects cast almost no shadow at solar noon. The next one is in 2 months.
Planning a sunset photo in Saint-Denis
Arrive by 17:31. Golden hour opens at 17:46 and the sun is down by 18:15, 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 18:28 and runs to 18:37, the end of civil twilight and 22m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
