The earliest sunset of the year is at 18:08 on 8 November; the latest is 18:40 on 20 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 06:08 on 28 October to 06:39 on 5 February.

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

What makes sunsets in Medan different

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 3.6°N buys you.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 47° round to WNW. Tonight, W.

By the end of October the sun will be setting 9 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 18 seconds a day.

Being inside the tropics means two zenith passages a year, 30 March and 14 September, when the sun is straight up at solar noon rather than merely high.

At 3.6° the seasons barely touch the clock: 25 minutes separate midsummer from midwinter, against roughly 8.8 hours in London.

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 4 minutes earlier in the coming fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in Medan

Arrive by 17:31. Golden hour opens at 17:46 and the sun is down by 18:14, 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 18:26 and runs to 18:34, the end of civil twilight and 20m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
