Longest and shortest day in Jingzhou
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 14h 6m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 10h 11m.
Between them the day length swings by 3h 55m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:30 on 3 December; the latest is 19:37 on 1 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 05:28 on 11 June to 07:29 on 10 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Jingzhou different
Clock noon and solar noon are 33 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:33 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.
It takes roughly 25 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.
Evening golden hour runs 47 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 30.4° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.
Between solstices the sunset walks 55° 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.
Sunset drifts 59 seconds earlier each day this month — 30 minutes from the first of August to the last.
Planning a sunset photo in Jingzhou
Arrive by 18:14. Golden hour opens at 18:29 and the sun is down by 19:01, 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.
