Longest and shortest day in Road Town
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 3 months ago, with 13h 14m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 3 months, with 11h 1m.
Between them the day length swings by 2h 12m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:40 on 24 November; the latest is 18:59 on 6 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 05:41 on 5 June to 06:53 on 18 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 8m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Road Town different
It takes roughly 22 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 50° round to WNW. Tonight, W.
By the end of September the sun will be setting 25 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 52 seconds a day.
Being inside the tropics means two zenith passages a year, 13 May and 30 July, when the sun is straight up at solar noon rather than merely high.
Planning a sunset photo in Road Town
Arrive by 17:27. Golden hour opens at 17:42 and the sun is down by 18:11, 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 18:24 and runs to 18:33, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
