Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:31 on 23 November; the latest is 18:45 on 7 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 05:32 on 4 June to 06:40 on 19 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 8m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Saint John’s different

It takes roughly 22 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.

Between solstices the sunset walks 49° across the horizon — WSW in midwinter, WNW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is W.

Sunset drifts 39 seconds earlier each day this month — 20 minutes from the first of October to the last.

Being inside the tropics means two zenith passages a year, 8 May and 4 August, when the sun is straight up at solar noon rather than merely high.

Around a solstice the day length flattens out, and that is where the calendar is now: the shortest day is 21 December, in 2 months, and sunset moves a mere 9 minutes earlier in the coming fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in Saint John’s

Arrive by 17:05. Golden hour opens at 17:20 and the sun is down by 17:49, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 263° 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 18:02 and runs to 18:11, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
