Longest and shortest day in Bissau
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 12h 49m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 11h 25m.
Between them the day length swings by 1h 23m.
Daylight through 2026
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 13:04, a full 64 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.
Sunset here is followed by about 22 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.
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 August the sunset moves 15 minutes earlier, averaging about 29 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 longest day of the year falls on 21 June, 2 months ago, 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 Bissau
Arrive by 18:33. Golden hour opens at 18:48 and the sun is down by 19:16, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west — the sun goes down at 281° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
