Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 14:58 on 17 December; the latest is 23:21 on 22 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 03:36 on 19 June to 09:52 on 26 December.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 24m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Tórshavn different

Clock noon and solar noon are 29 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:29 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 13:29.

From sunset to full civil darkness is 51 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 62°N accounts for the 27-minute difference.

Photographers get 92 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 2.2× the 41 minutes available at the equator on the same date.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it SW, June swings it 116° round to NNW. Tonight, WNW.

Across August the sunset moves 92 minutes earlier, averaging about 3 minutes a day.

On 25 October 2026 the local clock shifts back an hour and sunset lands at 16:42 instead of 17:45. Worth knowing if you are planning a shoot that week.

There is no true astronomical night here right now: the sun bottoms out at -17.2° below the horizon around 01:29, and the sky keeps a faint glow until dawn.

Planning a sunset photo in Tórshavn

Arrive by 19:42. Golden hour opens at 19:57 and the sun is down by 20:58, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 295° 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 21:29 and runs to 21:49, the end of civil twilight and 51m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
