Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:37 on 19 November; the latest is 18:35 on 10 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 05:39 on 31 May to 06:32 on 24 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 7m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Ouagadougou different

At 12.4°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 21 minutes to arrive: 3 minutes shorter than today's 24-minute median.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 48° round to WNW. Tonight, W.

Sunset drifts 32 seconds earlier each day this month — 16 minutes from the first of October to the last.

Being inside the tropics means two zenith passages a year, 23 April and 20 August, when the sun is straight up at solar noon rather than merely high.

Sitting in 2 months of the shortest day (21 December) means the sun has almost stopped drifting — 11h 54m of daylight today, and only 7 minutes of movement in sunset over the next two weeks.

Planning a sunset photo in Ouagadougou

Arrive by 17:07. Golden hour opens at 17:22 and the sun is down by 17:50, 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 18:03 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.
