Sunset and sunrise times in Calgary, Canada

Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 13:23, a full 83 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.

From sunset to full civil darkness is 33 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 51.1°N accounts for the 9-minute difference.

Photographers get 65 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.6× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.

Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 8h 39m here — among the widest of the 83 cities tracked in Canada.

Over a year the sunset point slides 79° along the horizon, from SW at the December solstice to NW in June. Today it is W.

Sunset drifts 2 minutes earlier each day this month — 62 minutes from the first of October to the last.

Expect a one-off hour-long step in these times on 1 November 2026: sunset goes from 6:11 pm the evening before to 6:09 pm that evening.

At 1,048 m the horizon sits 1.12° lower than at sea level, so the sun sets about 7.2 minutes later here than the standard tables suggest — roughly 14.4 minutes of extra daylight across the day.
