Longest and shortest day in Dushanbe
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 3 months ago, with 14h 51m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 3 months, with 9h 28m.
Between them the day length swings by 5h 23m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:03 on 7 December; the latest is 19:53 on 28 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 05:00 on 14 June to 07:42 on 5 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 11m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Dushanbe different
It takes roughly 26 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.
The shallow approach angle at 38.5° stretches this evening's golden hour to 51 minutes, against about 40 for a city on the equator today.
Over a year the sunset point slides 61° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.
Sunset drifts 94 seconds earlier each day this month — 46 minutes from the first of September to the last.
Standing 767 m up buys you 4.9 extra minutes of evening sun: the higher you are, the further over the curve of the Earth you can see, by 0.96° here.
Planning a sunset photo in Dushanbe
Arrive by 17:26. Golden hour opens at 17:41 and the sun is down by 18:16, 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 18:32 and runs to 18:42, the end of civil twilight and 26m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
