Longest and shortest day in Medellín

The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 12h 29m of daylight.

The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 2 months, with 11h 45m.

Between them the day length swings by 43m.

Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:41 on 11 November; the latest is 18:21 on 16 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 05:46 on 24 May to 06:20 on 1 February.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 7m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Medellín different

At 6.2°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 21 minutes to arrive: 3 minutes shorter than today's 24-minute median.

Between solstices the sunset walks 47° 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 11 minutes earlier, averaging about 22 seconds a day.

Twice a year the sun passes directly overhead here — on 5 April and 7 September — and vertical objects cast almost no shadow at solar noon.

Sunset lands at close to the same time all year — the annual spread in day length is only 44 minutes, compared with about 8.8 hours at London's latitude.

At 1,405 m the horizon sits 1.3° lower than at sea level, so the sun sets about 5.3 minutes later here than the standard tables suggest — roughly 10.5 minutes of extra daylight across the day.

The times barely move this week: the shortest day of the year falls on 21 December, in 2 months, so day length is changing by under a minute a day. Sunset shifts just 5 minutes earlier over the next fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in Medellín

Arrive by 17:06. Golden hour opens at 17:21 and the sun is down by 17:49, 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 18:02 and runs to 18:10, the end of civil twilight and 20m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
