Longest and shortest day in Stanley
The longest day falls on 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 16h 40m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 7h 47m.
Between them the day length swings by 8h 52m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:46 on 16 June; the latest is 21:11 on 29 December. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 04:27 on 13 December to 08:59 on 25 June.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 8m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Stanley different
Clock noon and solar noon are 53 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:53 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.
From sunset to full civil darkness is 34 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 51.7°S accounts for the 10-minute difference.
Evening golden hour runs 68 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 51.7° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.
Over a year the sunset point slides 80° along the horizon, from SW at the December solstice to NW in June. Today it is WNW.
Sunset drifts 93 seconds later each day this month — 46 minutes from the first of August to the last.
Planning a sunset photo in Stanley
Arrive by 17:02. Golden hour opens at 17:17 and the sun is down by 18:04, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 286° 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 18:25 and runs to 18:38, the end of civil twilight and 34m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
