Longest and shortest day in Xiangyang
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 14h 14m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 2 months, with 10h 2m.
Between them the day length swings by 4h 11m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:26 on 4 December; the latest is 19:41 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 05:24 on 12 June to 07:33 on 9 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Xiangyang different
Sunset here is followed by about 24 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.
Photographers get 48 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.2× the 40 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 W.
Across October the sunset moves 34 minutes earlier, averaging about 68 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Xiangyang
Arrive by 17:17. Golden hour opens at 17:32 and the sun is down by 18:05, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west — the sun goes down at 263° 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 18:20 and runs to 18:30, the end of civil twilight and 24m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
