Longest and shortest day in Yamoussoukro
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 12h 31m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 2 months, with 11h 43m.
Between them the day length swings by 47m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:59 on 12 November; the latest is 18:41 on 16 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 06:03 on 25 May to 06:39 on 31 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 7m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Yamoussoukro different
At 6.8°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.
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.
Sunset drifts 23 seconds earlier each day this month — 11 minutes from the first of October to the last.
On 7 April and 5 September the midday sun stands at the zenith, 151 days apart. Those are the only two days of the year with no noon shadow.
Sunset lands at close to the same time all year — the annual spread in day length is only 48 minutes, compared with about 8.8 hours at London's latitude.
Around a solstice the day length flattens out, and that is where the calendar is now: the shortest day is 21 December, in 2 months, and sunset moves a mere 5 minutes earlier in the coming fortnight.
Planning a sunset photo in Yamoussoukro
Arrive by 17:25. Golden hour opens at 17:40 and the sun is down by 18:08, 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.
