Longest and shortest day in Nicosia

The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 14h 31m of daylight.

The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 2 months, with 9h 47m.

Between them the day length swings by 4h 44m.

Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:34 on 5 December; the latest is 20:05 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 05:31 on 13 June to 06:01 on 25 October.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Nicosia different

Sitting on the eastern side of its time zone puts solar noon at 11:33, a full 26 minutes before twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 12:33.

It takes roughly 25 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.

Evening golden hour runs 50 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 35.2° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

Between solstices the sunset walks 58° 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.

By the end of October the sun will be setting 98 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 3 minutes a day.

The clocks go back on 25 October 2026, so the sunset jumps from 18:00 to 16:59 overnight — the sun has not moved, the clock has.

Planning a sunset photo in Nicosia

Arrive by 17:29. Golden hour opens at 17:44 and the sun is down by 18:18, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 262° 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 18:34 and runs to 18:43, the end of civil twilight and 25m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
