Longest and shortest day in Utqiagvik
The longest day falls on 13 May 2026, 4 months ago, with 24h 0m of daylight.
The shortest is 1 January 2026, 9 months ago, with no sunrise at all.
Between them the day length swings by 24h 0m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 1:42 pm on 18 November; the latest is 1:42 am on 2 August. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 2:57 am on 10 May to 1:24 pm on 22 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 20m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Utqiagvik different
Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 13:18, a full 79 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 2:18 pm.
At 71.3°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 65 minutes to arrive: 41 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.
Evening golden hour runs 127 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 71.3° 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 24h 0m here — among the widest of the 358 cities tracked in United States.
Sunset drifts 5 minutes earlier each day this month — 145 minutes from the first of September to the last.
On 1 November 2026 the local clock shifts back an hour and sunset lands at 4:03 pm instead of 5:09 pm. Worth knowing if you are planning a shoot that week.
Planning a sunset photo in Utqiagvik
Arrive by 6:32 pm. Golden hour opens at 6:47 pm and the sun is down by 8:14 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 8:53 pm and runs to 9:19 pm, the end of civil twilight and 1h 4m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
