Longest and shortest day in Whitehorse
The longest day falls on 20 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 19h 9m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 5h 37m.
Between them the day length swings by 13h 31m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 4:46 pm on 16 December; the latest is 11:36 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 4:27 am on 19 June to 11:10 am on 26 December.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 22m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Whitehorse different
Clock noon and solar noon are 122 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 14:02 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.
From sunset to full civil darkness is 48 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 60.7°N accounts for the 24-minute difference.
The shallow approach angle at 60.7° stretches this evening's golden hour to 87 minutes, against about 41 for a city on the equator today.
The gap between the longest and shortest day of the year comes to 13h 31m, one of the widest swings of any Canada city on the site.
Between solstices the sunset walks 109° across the horizon — SW in midwinter, NNW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is WNW.
By the end of August the sun will be setting 87 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 3 minutes a day.
Standing 707 m up buys you 8.2 extra minutes of evening sun: the higher you are, the further over the curve of the Earth you can see, by 0.92° here.
Planning a sunset photo in Whitehorse
Arrive by 8:12 pm. Golden hour opens at 8:27 pm and the sun is down by 9:26 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 293° 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 9:54 pm and runs to 10:14 pm, the end of civil twilight and 48m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
