Longest and shortest day in Nuuk

The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 21h 10m of daylight.

Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 15:27 on 18 December; the latest is 01:04 on 21 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 03:53 on 20 June to 11:23 on 25 December.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 29m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Nuuk different

Clock noon and solar noon are 74 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 13:13 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 14:13.

Light lingers for 48 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 24 minutes longer than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 64.2°N buys you.

Evening golden hour runs 97 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 64.2° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

Over a year the sunset point slides 133° along the horizon, from SSW at the December solstice to NNW in June. Today it is WSW.

Across October the sunset moves 163 minutes earlier, averaging about 5 minutes a day.

Expect a one-off hour-long step in these times on 24 October 2026: sunset goes from 18:39 the evening before to 18:35 that evening.

Planning a sunset photo in Nuuk

Arrive by 18:01. Golden hour opens at 18:16 and the sun is down by 19:23, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west-southwest — the sun goes down at 256° 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 19:53 and runs to 20:11, the end of civil twilight and 48m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
