Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:25 on 16 June; the latest is 20:27 on 31 December. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 04:07 on 13 December to 08:16 on 26 June.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 8m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Port-aux-Français different

At 49.3°S the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 32 minutes to arrive: 8 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.

The shallow approach angle at 49.3° stretches this evening's golden hour to 62 minutes, against about 40 for a city on the equator today.

Over a year the sunset point slides 75° along the horizon, from SW at the December solstice to NW in June. Today it is W.

By the end of September the sun will be setting 42 minutes later than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 87 seconds a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Port-aux-Français

Arrive by 17:25. Golden hour opens at 17:40 and the sun is down by 18:22, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 267° 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 18:41 and runs to 18:54, the end of civil twilight and 31m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
