Longest and shortest day in Iqaluit
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 20h 49m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 2 months, with 4h 20m.
Between them the day length swings by 16h 29m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 1:41 pm on 18 December; the latest is 11:00 pm on 22 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 2:11 am on 20 June to 9:23 am on 25 December.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 28m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Iqaluit different
Clock noon and solar noon are 39 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 11:21 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 12:21 pm.
Light lingers for 47 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 23 minutes longer than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 63.7°N buys you.
Evening golden hour runs 96 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 63.7° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.
Summer and winter days differ by 16h 29m 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 SSW, June swings it 129° round to NNW. Tonight, WSW.
By the end of October the sun will be setting 101 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 3 minutes a day.
On 1 November 2026 the local clock shifts back an hour and sunset lands at 3:18 pm instead of 4:22 pm. Worth knowing if you are planning a shoot that week.
