Longest and shortest day in Montréal
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 15h 41m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 8h 41m.
Between them the day length swings by 6h 59m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 4:10 pm on 10 December; the latest is 8:47 pm on 26 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 5:05 am on 15 June to 7:34 am on 2 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 13m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Montréal different
Light lingers for 31 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 7 minutes longer than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 45.5°N buys you.
The shallow approach angle at 45.5° stretches this evening's golden hour to 59 minutes, against about 41 for a city on the equator today.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 69° round to NW. Tonight, WNW.
Across August the sunset moves 48 minutes earlier, averaging about 97 seconds a day.
The clocks go back on 1 November 2026, so the sunset jumps from 5:42 pm to 4:41 pm overnight — the sun has not moved, the clock has.
Planning a sunset photo in Montréal
Arrive by 6:49 pm. Golden hour opens at 7:04 pm and the sun is down by 7:44 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 286° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
