The earliest sunset of the year is at 18:04 on 24 October; the latest is 18:35 on 2 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 05:47 on 10 November to 06:22 on 19 July.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Pointe-Noire 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 4.8°S buys you.

Between solstices the sunset walks 47° across the horizon — WSW in midwinter, WNW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is W.

Twice a year the sun passes directly overhead here — on 9 March and 5 October — and vertical objects cast almost no shadow at solar noon. The next one is in 6 weeks.

At 4.8° the seasons barely touch the clock: 33 minutes separate midsummer from midwinter, against roughly 8.8 hours in London.

Around a solstice the day length flattens out, and that is where the calendar is now: the shortest day is 21 June, 2 months ago, and sunset moves a mere 3 minutes earlier in the coming fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in Pointe-Noire

Arrive by 17:31. Golden hour opens at 17:46 and the sun is down by 18:14, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 281° 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 18:27 and runs to 18:35, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
