Longest and shortest day in Rovaniemi
The longest day falls on 6 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 24h 0m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 2 months, with 2h 14m.
Between them the day length swings by 21h 45m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 13:22 on 20 December; the latest is 01:00 on 5 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 01:43 on 5 June to 11:08 on 23 December.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 42m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Rovaniemi different
From sunset to full civil darkness is 52 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 66.5°N accounts for the 28-minute difference.
The shallow approach angle at 66.5° stretches this evening's golden hour to 107 minutes, against about 40 for a city on the equator today.
The gap between the longest and shortest day of the year comes to 21h 45m, one of the widest swings of any Finland city on the site.
By the end of October the sun will be setting 176 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 6 minutes a day.
On 25 October 2026 the local clock shifts back an hour and sunset lands at 16:11 instead of 17:15. Worth knowing if you are planning a shoot that week.
Of the 11 Finland cities tracked here, this one sees the earliest sunset today — 27 minutes apart from Turku at the other end of the country.
Planning a sunset photo in Rovaniemi
Arrive by 16:39. Golden hour opens at 16:54 and the sun is down by 18:09, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-southwest — the sun goes down at 255° 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 18:41 and runs to 19:01, the end of civil twilight and 52m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
