Longest and shortest day in Porto Alegre
The longest day falls on 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 14h 4m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 10h 12m.
Between them the day length swings by 3h 52m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:31 on 10 June; the latest is 19:30 on 9 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 05:16 on 3 December to 07:21 on 1 July.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Porto Alegre different
On standard time the sun peaks at 12:26, 27 minutes after clock noon, because the city sits near the western edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way.
It takes roughly 24 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.
Photographers get 47 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.1× the 41 minutes available at the equator on the same date.
Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 3h 52m here — among the widest of the 399 cities tracked in Brazil.
Over a year the sunset point slides 55° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is WNW.
Across August the sunset moves 17 minutes later, averaging about 34 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Porto Alegre
Arrive by 17:18. Golden hour opens at 17:33 and the sun is down by 18:06, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 282° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
