Longest and shortest day in Belmopan

The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 13h 9m of daylight.

The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 2 months, with 11h 5m.

Between them the day length swings by 2h 3m.

Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:18 on 23 November; the latest is 18:33 on 6 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 05:20 on 4 June to 06:28 on 19 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 8m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Belmopan 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.

Between solstices the sunset walks 49° 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 20 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 40 seconds a day.

Being inside the tropics means two zenith passages a year, 9 May and 4 August, when the sun is straight up at solar noon rather than merely high.

Around a solstice the day length flattens out, and that is where the calendar is now: the shortest day is 21 December, in 2 months, and sunset moves a mere 9 minutes earlier in the coming fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in Belmopan

Arrive by 16:52. Golden hour opens at 17:07 and the sun is down by 17:36, 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 17:50 and runs to 17:58, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
