Longest and shortest day in São Paulo
The longest day falls on 21 December 2026, in 2 months, with 13h 35m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 10h 40m.
Between them the day length swings by 2h 54m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:27 on 7 June; the latest is 18:58 on 13 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 05:11 on 29 November to 06:49 on 4 July.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in São Paulo different
Sunset here is followed by about 23 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.
Between solstices the sunset walks 51° across the horizon — WSW in midwinter, WNW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is W.
By the end of October the sun will be setting 14 minutes later than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 27 seconds a day.
Elevation matters at 769 m. The visible horizon drops 0.96°, pushing sunset 4.2 minutes later and sunrise the same amount earlier than a sea-level observer would see.
Planning a sunset photo in São Paulo
Arrive by 17:24. Golden hour opens at 17:39 and the sun is down by 18:09, 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 18:23 and runs to 18:32, the end of civil twilight and 22m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
