Longest and shortest day in Zhongwei
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 14h 45m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 9h 34m.
Between them the day length swings by 5h 11m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:40 on 7 December; the latest is 20:24 on 28 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 05:37 on 14 June to 08:14 on 6 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 11m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Zhongwei different
Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 13:01, a full 61 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.
Light lingers for 27 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 3 minutes longer than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 37.5°N buys you.
Photographers get 52 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.3× the 41 minutes available at the equator on the same date.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 60° round to WNW. Tonight, WNW.
By the end of August the sun will be setting 37 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 75 seconds a day.
At 1,227 m the horizon sits 1.21° lower than at sea level, so the sun sets about 6.3 minutes later here than the standard tables suggest — roughly 12.6 minutes of extra daylight across the day.
Planning a sunset photo in Zhongwei
Arrive by 18:47. Golden hour opens at 19:02 and the sun is down by 19:37, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
