Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:12 on 30 November; the latest is 18:58 on 3 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 05:12 on 9 June to 06:51 on 13 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Putian different

It takes roughly 23 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.

Evening golden hour runs 45 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 25.4° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

Summer and winter days differ by 3h 10m here, less seasonal variation than almost anywhere else in China we track.

Between solstices the sunset walks 52° 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 25 minutes earlier, averaging about 50 seconds a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Putian

Arrive by 17:43. Golden hour opens at 17:58 and the sun is down by 18:29, 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 18:43 and runs to 18:53, the end of civil twilight and 23m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
