Longest and shortest day in Suva
The longest day falls on 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 13h 13m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 11h 2m.
Between them the day length swings by 2h 10m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:37 on 4 June; the latest is 18:48 on 18 January. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 05:20 on 25 November to 06:38 on 7 July.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Suva different
Sunset here is followed by about 22 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.
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.
By the end of August the sun will be setting 7 minutes later than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 14 seconds a day.
On 29 January and 14 November the midday sun stands at the zenith, 289 days apart. Those are the only two days of the year with no noon shadow. The next one is in 3 months.
Sitting 2 months ago of the shortest day (21 June) means the sun has almost stopped drifting — 11h 39m of daylight today, and only 2 minutes of movement in sunset over the next two weeks.
Planning a sunset photo in Suva
Arrive by 17:13. Golden hour opens at 17:28 and the sun is down by 17:58, 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.
