Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:41 on 11 December; the latest is 21:29 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 05:34 on 16 June to 08:15 on 1 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 13m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Bern different

From sunset to full civil darkness is 30 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 46.9°N accounts for the 6-minute difference.

Evening golden hour runs 60 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 46.9° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it SW, June swings it 71° round to NW. Tonight, W.

Sunset drifts 4 minutes earlier each day this month — 114 minutes from the first of October to the last.

Expect a one-off hour-long step in these times on 25 October 2026: sunset goes from 18:27 the evening before to 17:25 that evening.

Standing 549 m up buys you 4.8 extra minutes of evening sun: the higher you are, the further over the curve of the Earth you can see, by 0.81° here.

Planning a sunset photo in Bern

Arrive by 17:56. Golden hour opens at 18:11 and the sun is down by 18:52, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 261° 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 19:11 and runs to 19:23, the end of civil twilight and 30m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
