Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:31 on 6 December; the latest is 20:10 on 28 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 05:28 on 13 June to 08:00 on 6 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 11m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Algiers different

On standard time the sun peaks at 12:49, 50 minutes after clock noon, because the city sits near the western edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way.

At 36.7°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 27 minutes to arrive: 3 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.

The shallow approach angle at 36.7° stretches this evening's golden hour to 51 minutes, against about 41 for a city on the equator today.

Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 5h 2m here — among the widest of the 42 cities tracked in Algeria.

Over a year the sunset point slides 60° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is WNW.

By the end of August the sun will be setting 37 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 73 seconds a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Algiers

Arrive by 18:36. Golden hour opens at 18:51 and the sun is down by 19:26, 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.

Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 19:42 and runs to 19:52, the end of civil twilight and 26m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
