Sunset and sunrise times in Singapore, Singapore

Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:56, a full 56 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.

At 1.3°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 21 minutes to arrive: 3 minutes shorter than today's 24-minute median.

Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 8m here — among the narrowest of the 26 cities tracked in Singapore.

Over a year the sunset point slides 47° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.

Sunset drifts 23 seconds earlier each day this month — 11 minutes from the first of September to the last.

On 24 March and 20 September the midday sun stands at the zenith, 180 days apart. Those are the only two days of the year with no noon shadow.

At 1.3° the seasons barely touch the clock: 9 minutes separate midsummer from midwinter, against roughly 8.8 hours in London.

Sitting in 3 months of the shortest day (21 December) means the sun has almost stopped drifting — 12h 6m of daylight today, and only 5 minutes of movement in sunset over the next two weeks.
