Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:26 on 17 November; the latest is 18:20 on 12 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 05:29 on 30 May to 06:17 on 27 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 7m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Ho Chi Minh City different

At 10.8°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 21 minutes to arrive: 3 minutes shorter than today's 24-minute median.

Over a year the sunset point slides 48° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.

Sunset drifts 38 seconds earlier each day this month — 19 minutes from the first of September to the last.

Twice a year the sun passes directly overhead here — on 18 April and 25 August — and vertical objects cast almost no shadow at solar noon.

Sitting in 3 months of the shortest day (21 December) means the sun has almost stopped drifting — 12h 4m of daylight today, and only 9 minutes of movement in sunset over the next two weeks.

Planning a sunset photo in Ho Chi Minh City

Arrive by 17:04. Golden hour opens at 17:19 and the sun is down by 17:47, 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 18:00 and runs to 18:08, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
