Longest and shortest day in Brazzaville
The longest day falls on 21 December 2026, in 2 months, with 12h 22m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 11h 52m.
Between them the day length swings by 29m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:50 on 25 October; the latest is 18:21 on 3 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 05:33 on 10 November to 06:08 on 20 July.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Brazzaville 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 4.3°S buys you.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 47° round to WNW. Tonight, W.
Twice a year the sun passes directly overhead here — on 10 March and 4 October — and vertical objects cast almost no shadow at solar noon.
Sunset lands at close to the same time all year — the annual spread in day length is only 30 minutes, compared with about 8.8 hours at London's latitude.
Sitting in 2 months of the longest day (21 December) means the sun has almost stopped drifting — 12h 10m of daylight today, and only 1 minutes of movement in sunset over the next two weeks.
Planning a sunset photo in Brazzaville
Arrive by 17:08. Golden hour opens at 17:23 and the sun is down by 17:51, 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.
