Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:32 on 22 November; the latest is 18:42 on 7 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 05:34 on 3 June to 06:38 on 21 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 8m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Basse-Terre different

It takes roughly 22 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.

Over a year the sunset point slides 49° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.

Across October the sunset moves 19 minutes earlier, averaging about 38 seconds a day.

Being inside the tropics means two zenith passages a year, 4 May and 9 August, when the sun is straight up at solar noon rather than merely high.

The times barely move this week: the shortest day of the year falls on 21 December, in 2 months, so day length is changing by under a minute a day. Sunset shifts just 9 minutes earlier over the next fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in Basse-Terre

Arrive by 17:05. Golden hour opens at 17:20 and the sun is down by 17:49, 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 18:02 and runs to 18:11, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
