Longest and shortest day in Fort Worth
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 3 months ago, with 14h 18m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 3 months, with 9h 59m.
Between them the day length swings by 4h 18m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 5:22 pm on 4 December; the latest is 8:41 pm on 29 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 6:20 am on 12 June to 6:47 am on 1 November.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Fort Worth different
On standard time the sun peaks at 12:20, 21 minutes after clock noon, because the city sits near the western edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 1:20 pm.
It takes roughly 25 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.
Evening golden hour runs 48 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 32.7° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.
The gap between the longest and shortest day of the year comes to 4h 18m, one of the narrowest swings of any United States city on the site.
Between solstices the sunset walks 56° 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.
Across September the sunset moves 39 minutes earlier, averaging about 80 seconds a day.
On 1 November 2026 the local clock shifts back an hour and sunset lands at 5:38 pm instead of 6:39 pm. Worth knowing if you are planning a shoot that week.
Planning a sunset photo in Fort Worth
Arrive by 6:34 pm. Golden hour opens at 6:49 pm and the sun is down by 7:21 pm, 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.
