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.

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 65 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 66.5°N accounts for the 41-minute difference.
The shallow approach angle at 66.5° stretches this evening's golden hour to 112 minutes, against about 41 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 August the sun will be setting 122 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 4 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 latest sunset today — 25 minutes apart from Kuopio at the other end of the country.
Stargazers get no full darkness at the moment — the sun stops -12.7° below the horizon near 01:19, leaving the sky in permanent deep twilight.
Planning a sunset photo in Rovaniemi
Arrive by 19:41. Golden hour opens at 19:56 and the sun is down by 21:10, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 300° 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 21:48 and runs to 22:15, the end of civil twilight and 1h 4m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
