Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 18:07 on 18 November; the latest is 19:04 on 10 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 06:09 on 31 May to 07:01 on 25 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Willemstad different

On standard time the sun peaks at 12:37, 38 minutes after clock noon, because the city sits near the western edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way.

Sunset here is followed by about 22 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.

Between solstices the sunset walks 48° 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 August the sunset moves 15 minutes earlier, averaging about 30 seconds a day.

On 22 April and 21 August the midday sun stands at the zenith, 121 days apart. Those are the only two days of the year with no noon shadow.

Around a solstice the day length flattens out, and that is where the calendar is now: the longest day is 21 June, 2 months ago, and sunset moves a mere 9 minutes earlier in the coming fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in Willemstad

Arrive by 18:06. Golden hour opens at 18:21 and the sun is down by 18:50, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 281° 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 19:03 and runs to 19:11, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
