Longest and shortest day in Edmonton
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 17h 2m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 7h 27m.
Between them the day length swings by 9h 35m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 4:13 pm on 13 December; the latest is 10:07 pm on 24 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 5:03 am on 17 June to 8:50 am on 29 December.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 16m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Edmonton different
On standard time the sun peaks at 12:35, 36 minutes after clock noon, because the city sits near the western edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 1:35 pm.
Light lingers for 38 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 14 minutes longer than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 53.6°N buys you.
The shallow approach angle at 53.6° stretches this evening's golden hour to 70 minutes, against about 41 for a city on the equator today.
Summer and winter days differ by 9h 35m here, more seasonal variation than almost anywhere else in Canada we track.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it SW, June swings it 84° round to NW. Tonight, WNW.
By the end of August the sun will be setting 64 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 2 minutes a day.
Expect a one-off hour-long step in these times on 1 November 2026: sunset goes from 6:02 pm the evening before to 6:00 pm that evening.

Planning a sunset photo in Edmonton
Arrive by 7:37 pm. Golden hour opens at 7:52 pm and the sun is down by 8:39 pm, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 289° 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 9:02 pm and runs to 9:17 pm, the end of civil twilight and 37m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
