The earliest sunset of the year is at 18:34 on 18 November; the latest is 19:31 on 11 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 06:37 on 31 May to 07:27 on 25 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Bissau different

Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:49, a full 49 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.

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 11.9°N buys you.

Over a year the sunset point slides 48° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.

Across October the sunset moves 15 minutes earlier, averaging about 31 seconds a day.

Being inside the tropics means two zenith passages a year, 21 April and 22 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 7 minutes earlier over the next fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in Bissau

Arrive by 18:03. Golden hour opens at 18:18 and the sun is down by 18:47, 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 19:00 and runs to 19:08, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
