Longest and shortest day in Rostov-on-Don
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 3 months ago, with 15h 55m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 3 months, with 8h 28m.
Between them the day length swings by 7h 27m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:30 on 11 December; the latest is 20:21 on 26 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 04:24 on 16 June to 08:07 on 1 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 13m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Rostov-on-Don different
At 47.2°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 30 minutes to arrive: 6 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.
Photographers get 59 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.5× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.
The gap between the longest and shortest day of the year comes to 7h 27m, one of the narrowest swings of any Russia city on the site.
Between solstices the sunset walks 72° across the horizon — SW in midwinter, NW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is W.
By the end of September the sun will be setting 58 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 2 minutes a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Rostov-on-Don
Arrive by 17:15. Golden hour opens at 17:30 and the sun is down by 18:11, 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 18:29 and runs to 18:41, the end of civil twilight and 30m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
