Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 18:25 on 27 May; the latest is 19:05 on 29 January. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 06:07 on 16 November to 06:53 on 15 July.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Dili different

On standard time the sun peaks at 12:29, 29 minutes after clock noon, because the city sits near the western edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way.

From sunset to full civil darkness is 21 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 8.6°S accounts for the 3-minute difference.

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.

Twice a year the sun passes directly overhead here — on 27 February and 16 October — and vertical objects cast almost no shadow at solar noon. The next one is in 20 days.

At 8.6° the seasons barely touch the clock: 60 minutes separate midsummer from midwinter, against roughly 8.8 hours in London.

Around a solstice the day length flattens out, and that is where the calendar is now: the longest day is 21 December, in 3 months, and sunset moves a mere 1 minutes earlier in the coming fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in Dili

Arrive by 17:50. Golden hour opens at 18:05 and the sun is down by 18:33, 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 18:46 and runs to 18:54, the end of civil twilight and 20m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
