Longest and shortest day in Nicosia
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 14h 31m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 9h 47m.
Between them the day length swings by 4h 44m.
Daylight through 2026
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
It takes roughly 26 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 41 — 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 WNW.
By the end of August the sun will be setting 35 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 70 seconds 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 18:34. Golden hour opens at 18:49 and the sun is down by 19:23, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 284° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
