Longest and shortest day in Abidjan
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 12h 25m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 2 months, with 11h 48m.
Between them the day length swings by 37m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:56 on 10 November; the latest is 18:34 on 17 July. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 06:01 on 23 May to 06:32 on 2 February.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 7m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Abidjan different
At 5.4°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 21 minutes to arrive: 3 minutes shorter than today's 24-minute median.
Summer and winter days differ by 37m here, less seasonal variation than almost anywhere else in Ivory Coast we track.
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.
Across October the sunset moves 10 minutes earlier, averaging about 20 seconds a day.
Being inside the tropics means two zenith passages a year, 3 April and 9 September, when the sun is straight up at solar noon rather than merely high.
The longest and shortest days of the year differ by just 37 minutes here. In London the same gap is around 8.8 hours. That is about 14 times less seasonal variation.
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 5 minutes earlier over the next fortnight.
Planning a sunset photo in Abidjan
Arrive by 17:21. Golden hour opens at 17:36 and the sun is down by 18:03, 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.
