The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 16h 31m of daylight.

The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 2 months, with 7h 56m.

Between them the day length swings by 8h 35m.

Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:36 on 12 December; the latest is 22:00 on 25 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 05:28 on 17 June to 08:45 on 31 December.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 15m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Brussels different

Clock noon and solar noon are 30 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:29 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 13:29.

From sunset to full civil darkness is 33 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 50.9°N accounts for the 9-minute difference.

The shallow approach angle at 50.9° stretches this evening's golden hour to 65 minutes, against about 40 for a city on the equator today.

Between solstices the sunset walks 78° across the horizon — SW in midwinter, NW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is W.

Sunset drifts 4 minutes earlier each day this month — 122 minutes from the first of October to the last.

The clocks go back on 25 October 2026, so the sunset jumps from 18:32 to 17:30 overnight — the sun has not moved, the clock has.

Planning a sunset photo in Brussels

Arrive by 18:01. Golden hour opens at 18:16 and the sun is down by 19:01, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 260° 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 19:21 and runs to 19:34, the end of civil twilight and 32m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
