Sunset and sunrise times in Tegucigalpa, Honduras

On standard time the sun peaks at 11:35, 24 minutes before clock noon, because the city sits near the eastern edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way.

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 14.1°N buys you.

Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 1h 39m here — among the narrowest of the 12 cities tracked in Honduras.

Between solstices the sunset walks 48° across the horizon — WSW in midwinter, WNW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is W.

Across October the sunset moves 17 minutes earlier, averaging about 34 seconds a day.

On 28 April and 15 August the midday sun stands at the zenith, 109 days apart. Those are the only two days of the year with no noon shadow.

Elevation matters at 944 m. The visible horizon drops 1.06°, pushing sunset 4.4 minutes later and sunrise the same amount earlier than a sea-level observer would see.

Around a solstice the day length flattens out, and that is where the calendar is now: the shortest day is 21 December, in 2 months, and sunset moves a mere 8 minutes earlier in the coming fortnight.
