Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 5:18 pm on 11 June; the latest is 7:26 pm on 8 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 5:03 am on 4 December to 7:17 am on 1 July.

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

What makes sunsets in Perth different

It takes roughly 25 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.

The shallow approach angle at 32° stretches this evening's golden hour to 48 minutes, against about 40 for a city on the equator today.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 56° round to WNW. Tonight, W.

Sunset drifts 44 seconds later each day this month — 22 minutes from the first of October to the last.

Planning a sunset photo in Perth

Arrive by 5:37 pm. Golden hour opens at 5:52 pm and the sun is down by 6:24 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 6:39 pm and runs to 6:49 pm, the end of civil twilight and 24m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
