Longest and shortest day in Kisangani
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 12h 9m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 2 months, with 12h 5m.
Between them the day length swings by 3m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 18:05 on 3 November; the latest is 18:36 on 12 February. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 05:59 on 2 November to 06:30 on 10 February.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Kisangani different
Light lingers for 21 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 3 minutes shorter than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 0.5°N buys you.
The gap between the longest and shortest day of the year comes to 3m, one of the narrowest swings of any Democratic Republic of the Congo city on the site.
Over a year the sunset point slides 47° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.
Across October the sunset moves 6 minutes earlier, averaging about 13 seconds a day.
Being inside the tropics means two zenith passages a year, 22 March and 22 September, when the sun is straight up at solar noon rather than merely high.
At 0.5° the seasons barely touch the clock: 4 minutes separate midsummer from midwinter, against roughly 8.8 hours in London.
The times barely move this week: the shortest day of the year falls on 21 December, in 2 months, so day length is changing by under a minute a day. Sunset shifts just 3 minutes earlier over the next fortnight.
Planning a sunset photo in Kisangani
Arrive by 17:26. Golden hour opens at 17:41 and the sun is down by 18:09, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west — the sun goes down at 263° 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 18:22 and runs to 18:30, the end of civil twilight and 20m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
