Longest and shortest day in Brisbane

The longest day falls on 22 December 2026, in 2 months, with 13h 52m of daylight.

The shortest is 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 10h 24m.

Between them the day length swings by 3h 28m.

Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 5:00 pm on 9 June; the latest is 6:47 pm on 11 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 4:44 am on 2 December to 6:38 am on 3 July.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Brisbane different

Clock noon and solar noon are 25 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 11:35 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.

Sunset here is followed by about 24 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.

Evening golden hour runs 45 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 27.5° 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 3h 28m here — among the narrowest of the 22 cities tracked in Australia.

Between solstices the sunset walks 53° 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.

Across October the sunset moves 17 minutes later, averaging about 35 seconds a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Brisbane

Arrive by 5:06 pm. Golden hour opens at 5:21 pm and the sun is down by 5:52 pm, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 262° 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 6:07 pm and runs to 6:16 pm, the end of civil twilight and 23m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
