Sunset and sunrise times in Cali, Colombia

Light lingers for 21 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 3 minutes shorter than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 3.4°N buys you.

Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 23m here — among the narrowest of the 56 cities tracked in Colombia.

Over a year the sunset point slides 47° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.

Sunset drifts 17 seconds earlier each day this month — 9 minutes from the first of August to the last.

Twice a year the sun passes directly overhead here — on 29 March and 14 September — and vertical objects cast almost no shadow at solar noon. The next one is in 20 days.

The longest and shortest days of the year differ by just 24 minutes here. In London the same gap is around 8.8 hours. That is about 22 times less seasonal variation.

Standing 758 m up buys you 3.9 extra minutes of evening sun: the higher you are, the further over the curve of the Earth you can see, by 0.95° here.

Sitting 2 months ago of the longest day (21 June) means the sun has almost stopped drifting — 12h 11m of daylight today, and only 6 minutes of movement in sunset over the next two weeks.
