Longest and shortest day in Jacksonville
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 3 months ago, with 14h 6m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 3 months, with 10h 11m.
Between them the day length swings by 3h 55m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 5:25 pm on 2 December; the latest is 8:32 pm on 30 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 6:24 am on 11 June to 7:43 am on 9 March.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Jacksonville different
It takes roughly 24 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.
Evening golden hour runs 46 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 30.3° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.
Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 3h 55m here — among the narrowest of the 358 cities tracked in United States.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 55° round to WNW. Tonight, W.
Sunset drifts 75 seconds earlier each day this month — 36 minutes from the first of September to the last.
The clocks go back on 1 November 2026, so the sunset jumps from 6:39 pm to 5:38 pm overnight — the sun has not moved, the clock has.
Planning a sunset photo in Jacksonville
Arrive by 6:31 pm. Golden hour opens at 6:46 pm and the sun is down by 7:18 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.
Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 7:32 pm and runs to 7:42 pm, the end of civil twilight and 23m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
