Longest and shortest day in Pago Pago
The longest day falls on 21 December 2026, in 2 months, with 12h 58m of daylight.
The shortest is 20 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 11h 16m.

Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 18:00 on 1 June; the latest is 18:58 on 21 January. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 05:43 on 21 November to 06:48 on 9 July.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Pago Pago different
Sunset here is followed by about 22 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.
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.
By the end of October the sun will be setting 6 minutes later than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 11 seconds a day.
On 10 February and 31 October the midday sun stands at the zenith, 263 days apart. Those are the only two days of the year with no noon shadow. The next one is in 3 weeks.
Sitting in 2 months of the longest day (21 December) means the sun has almost stopped drifting — 12h 20m of daylight today, and only 3 minutes of movement in sunset over the next two weeks.
Planning a sunset photo in Pago Pago
Arrive by 17:36. Golden hour opens at 17:51 and the sun is down by 18:20, 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.
