Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:39 on 17 November; the latest is 18:32 on 11 July. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 05:42 on 29 May to 06:29 on 26 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 7m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Port of Spain different

At 10.7°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 solstices the sunset walks 48° across the horizon — WSW in midwinter, WNW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is W.

Sunset drifts 38 seconds earlier each day this month — 18 minutes from the first of September to the last.

Being inside the tropics means two zenith passages a year, 18 April and 25 August, when the sun is straight up at solar noon rather than merely high.

Sitting in 3 months of the shortest day (21 December) means the sun has almost stopped drifting — 12h 4m of daylight today, and only 8 minutes of movement in sunset over the next two weeks.

Planning a sunset photo in Port of Spain

Arrive by 17:16. Golden hour opens at 17:31 and the sun is down by 17:59, 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 18:12 and runs to 18:20, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
