Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:41 on 11 June; the latest is 20:56 on 7 January. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 06:25 on 5 December to 07:56 on 4 April.

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

What makes sunsets in Santiago different

Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:44, a full 45 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.

It takes roughly 25 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.

Photographers get 49 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.2× the 41 minutes available at the equator on the same date.

Between solstices the sunset walks 57° 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 WNW.

By the end of August the sun will be setting 20 minutes later than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 41 seconds a day.

Expect a one-off hour-long step in these times on 6 September 2026: sunset goes from 18:27 the evening before to 19:28 that evening.

Elevation matters at 556 m. The visible horizon drops 0.82°, pushing sunset 4 minutes later and sunrise the same amount earlier than a sea-level observer would see.

Planning a sunset photo in Santiago

Arrive by 17:31. Golden hour opens at 17:46 and the sun is down by 18:20, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 282° 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 18:36 and runs to 18:45, the end of civil twilight and 25m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.

Golden hour in Santiago — times, duration and the best months Morning and evening windows, the next seven days, and how much golden light each month gives you.
