Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:21 on 8 December; the latest is 21:28 on 27 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 06:17 on 14 June to 08:17 on 4 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Barcelona different

Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:53, a full 53 minutes after 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 13:53.

At 41.4°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 29 minutes to arrive: 5 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.

The shallow approach angle at 41.4° stretches this evening's golden hour to 55 minutes, against about 41 for a city on the equator today.

Between solstices the sunset walks 64° 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 42 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 85 seconds a day.

On 25 October 2026 the local clock shifts back an hour and sunset lands at 17:55 instead of 18:57. Worth knowing if you are planning a shoot that week.

Planning a sunset photo in Barcelona

Arrive by 19:43. Golden hour opens at 19:58 and the sun is down by 20:35, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 285° 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 20:53 and runs to 21:04, the end of civil twilight and 28m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
