Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 15:52 on 11 December; the latest is 20:45 on 26 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 04:46 on 16 June to 07:31 on 1 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 14m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Budapest different

On standard time the sun peaks at 11:30, 29 minutes before clock noon, because the city sits near the eastern edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 12:30.

At 47.5°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 31 minutes to arrive: 7 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.

Photographers get 60 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.5× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.

Between solstices the sunset walks 72° across the horizon — SW in midwinter, NW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is W.

Across October the sunset moves 115 minutes earlier, averaging about 4 minutes a day.

Expect a one-off hour-long step in these times on 25 October 2026: sunset goes from 17:39 the evening before to 16:38 that evening.

Planning a sunset photo in Budapest

Arrive by 17:09. Golden hour opens at 17:24 and the sun is down by 18:05, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 261° 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 18:24 and runs to 18:36, the end of civil twilight and 30m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
