Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 18:35 on 20 November; the latest is 19:37 on 9 July. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 06:38 on 1 June to 07:33 on 23 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 7m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Banjul 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.

Light lingers for 21 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 3 minutes shorter than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 13.5°N buys you.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 48° round to WNW. Tonight, W.

Sunset drifts 33 seconds earlier each day this month — 17 minutes from the first of October to the last.

On 26 April and 17 August the midday sun stands at the zenith, 113 days apart. Those are the only two days of the year with no noon shadow.

Sitting in 2 months of the shortest day (21 December) means the sun has almost stopped drifting — 11h 53m of daylight today, and only 8 minutes of movement in sunset over the next two weeks.

Planning a sunset photo in Banjul

Arrive by 18:06. Golden hour opens at 18:21 and the sun is down by 18:50, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 263° 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 19:03 and runs to 19:11, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
