Longest and shortest day in Saint Peter Port
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 16h 16m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 8h 9m.
Between them the day length swings by 8h 7m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:10 on 12 December; the latest is 21:20 on 25 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 05:03 on 16 June to 08:06 on 1 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 14m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Saint Peter Port different
From sunset to full civil darkness is 34 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 49.5°N accounts for the 10-minute difference.
Evening golden hour runs 64 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 49.5° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.
Between solstices the sunset walks 75° across the horizon — SW in midwinter, NW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is WNW.
Sunset drifts 110 seconds earlier each day this month — 55 minutes from the first of August to the last.
On 25 October 2026 the local clock shifts back an hour and sunset lands at 17:00 instead of 18:02. Worth knowing if you are planning a shoot that week.
Planning a sunset photo in Saint Peter Port
Arrive by 19:09. Golden hour opens at 19:24 and the sun is down by 20:07, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 287° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
