Longest and shortest day in Toronto
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 15h 26m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 8h 55m.
Between them the day length swings by 6h 31m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 4:40 pm on 9 December; the latest is 9:03 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 5:35 am on 15 June to 6:53 am on 1 November.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 12m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Toronto different
From sunset to full civil darkness is 30 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 43.7°N accounts for the 6-minute difference.
Evening golden hour runs 57 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 43.7° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.
The gap between the longest and shortest day of the year comes to 6h 31m, one of the narrowest swings of any Canada city on the site.
Over a year the sunset point slides 67° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to NW in June. Today it is WNW.
Across August the sunset moves 46 minutes earlier, averaging about 91 seconds a day.
On 1 November 2026 the local clock shifts back an hour and sunset lands at 5:08 pm instead of 6:09 pm. Worth knowing if you are planning a shoot that week.
Planning a sunset photo in Toronto
Arrive by 7:11 pm. Golden hour opens at 7:26 pm and the sun is down by 8:05 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 285° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
