Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:21 on 3 December; the latest is 19:29 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 05:19 on 11 June to 07:21 on 10 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Wuhan different

Clock noon and solar noon are 25 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:24 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.

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.

Evening golden hour runs 47 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 30.6° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

Over a year the sunset point slides 55° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is WNW.

By the end of August the sun will be setting 30 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 60 seconds a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Wuhan

Arrive by 18:06. Golden hour opens at 18:21 and the sun is down by 18:53, 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 19:08 and runs to 19:18, the end of civil twilight and 24m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.

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