Longest and shortest day in Sisimiut
The longest day falls on 3 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 24h 0m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 2 months, with 1h 36m.
Between them the day length swings by 22h 23m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 14:20 on 20 December; the latest is 02:16 on 1 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 03:02 on 1 June to 12:44 on 22 December.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 42m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Sisimiut different
Clock noon and solar noon are 82 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 13:21 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 14:21.
At 66.9°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 53 minutes to arrive: 29 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.
Photographers get 110 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 2.8× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.
Sunset drifts 6 minutes earlier each day this month — 178 minutes from the first of October to the last.
Expect a one-off hour-long step in these times on 24 October 2026: sunset goes from 18:33 the evening before to 18:29 that evening.
Planning a sunset photo in Sisimiut
Arrive by 17:52. Golden hour opens at 18:07 and the sun is down by 19:24, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-southwest — the sun goes down at 254° 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 19:57 and runs to 20:18, the end of civil twilight and 53m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
