Longest and shortest day in Jiujiang
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 14h 3m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 10h 14m.
Between them the day length swings by 3h 49m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:16 on 2 December; the latest is 19:20 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 05:15 on 11 June to 07:12 on 10 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Jiujiang different
Sunset here is followed by about 25 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.
Photographers get 47 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.1× the 41 minutes available at the equator on the same date.
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 58 seconds earlier each day this month — 29 minutes from the first of August to the last.
Planning a sunset photo in Jiujiang
Arrive by 17:58. Golden hour opens at 18:13 and the sun is down by 18:45, 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 19:00 and runs to 19:10, the end of civil twilight and 24m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
