Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 11:47 on 10 December; the latest is 00:18 on 26 May. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 01:05 on 17 July to 11:22 on 2 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 36m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Kiruna different

On standard time the sun peaks at 11:30, 30 minutes before clock noon, because the city sits near the eastern edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 12:30.

At 67.9°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 55 minutes to arrive: 31 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.

The shallow approach angle at 67.9° stretches this evening's golden hour to 107 minutes, against about 40 for a city on the equator today.

Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 24h 0m here — among the widest of the 13 cities tracked in Sweden.

Across September the sunset moves 122 minutes earlier, averaging about 4 minutes a day.

Expect a one-off hour-long step in these times on 25 October 2026: sunset goes from 16:29 the evening before to 15:24 that evening.

Today's earliest sunset in Sweden happens here, 35 minutes earlier than in Gothenburg.

At 579 m the horizon sits 0.83° lower than at sea level, so the sun sets about 8.8 minutes later here than the standard tables suggest — roughly 17.6 minutes of extra daylight across the day.

Planning a sunset photo in Kiruna

Arrive by 16:56. Golden hour opens at 17:11 and the sun is down by 18:25, 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 18:58 and runs to 19:20, the end of civil twilight and 54m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
