Longest and shortest day in Huainan
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 14h 17m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 10h 0m.
Between them the day length swings by 4h 17m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:05 on 4 December; the latest is 19:23 on 30 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 05:03 on 12 June to 07:14 on 9 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Huainan different
It takes roughly 25 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.
Photographers get 48 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 56° 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.
Across August the sunset moves 32 minutes earlier, averaging about 64 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Huainan
Arrive by 17:56. Golden hour opens at 18:11 and the sun is down by 18:44, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 283° 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 19:00 and runs to 19:10, the end of civil twilight and 25m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
