Longest and shortest day in Roseau
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 13h 2m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 11h 13m.
Between them the day length swings by 1h 49m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:32 on 21 November; the latest is 18:40 on 8 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 05:34 on 2 June to 06:35 on 21 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 7m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Roseau different
It takes roughly 22 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 49° round to WNW. Tonight, W.
Sunset drifts 34 seconds earlier each day this month — 17 minutes from the first of August to the last.
Twice a year the sun passes directly overhead here — on 2 May and 11 August — and vertical objects cast almost no shadow at solar noon.
The times barely move this week: the longest day of the year falls on 21 June, 2 months ago, so day length is changing by under a minute a day. Sunset shifts just 10 minutes earlier over the next fortnight.
Planning a sunset photo in Roseau
Arrive by 17:38. Golden hour opens at 17:53 and the sun is down by 18:22, 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 18:36 and runs to 18:44, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
