Longest and shortest day in Nome
The longest day falls on 20 June 2026, 3 months ago, with 21h 28m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 3 months, with 3h 54m.
Between them the day length swings by 17h 33m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 3:56 pm on 18 December; the latest is 1:47 am on 21 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 4:19 am on 20 June to 12:03 pm on 24 December.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 30m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Nome different
On standard time the sun peaks at 13:53, 113 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 2:53 pm.
At 64.5°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 48 minutes to arrive: 24 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.
The shallow approach angle at 64.5° stretches this evening's golden hour to 94 minutes, against about 40 for a city on the equator today.
The gap between the longest and shortest day of the year comes to 17h 33m, one of the widest swings of any United States city on the site.
Between solstices the sunset walks 136° across the horizon — SSW in midwinter, NNW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is W.
By the end of September the sun will be setting 105 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 4 minutes a day.
On 1 November 2026 the local clock shifts back an hour and sunset lands at 5:40 pm instead of 6:44 pm. Worth knowing if you are planning a shoot that week.
Of the 358 United States cities tracked here, this one sees the latest sunset today — 154 minutes apart from Tucson at the other end of the country.
