The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 14h 36m of daylight.

Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:47 on 6 December; the latest is 19:23 on 29 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 04:45 on 13 June to 07:13 on 7 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Zhu Cheng City different
Sunset here is followed by about 26 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.
Evening golden hour runs 51 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 36° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.
Over a year the sunset point slides 59° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is WNW.
Across August the sunset moves 36 minutes earlier, averaging about 71 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Zhu Cheng City
Arrive by 17:49. Golden hour opens at 18:04 and the sun is down by 18:38, 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 18:55 and runs to 19:05, the end of civil twilight and 26m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
