Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:23 on 5 June; the latest is 18:41 on 16 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 05:07 on 26 November to 06:31 on 6 July.

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

What makes sunsets in Belo Horizonte 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.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 50° round to WNW. Tonight, W.

By the end of August the sun will be setting 8 minutes later than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 17 seconds a day.

Twice a year the sun passes directly overhead here — on 21 January and 21 November — and vertical objects cast almost no shadow at solar noon. The next one is in 3 months.

Standing 888 m up buys you 4.5 extra minutes of evening sun: the higher you are, the further over the curve of the Earth you can see, by 1.03° here.

Planning a sunset photo in Belo Horizonte

Arrive by 17:01. Golden hour opens at 17:16 and the sun is down by 17:46, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 281° 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 17:59 and runs to 18:08, the end of civil twilight and 22m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
