Longest and shortest day in Pekanbaru

The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 12h 9m of daylight.

The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 12h 5m.

Between them the day length swings by 3m.

Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 18:00 on 4 November; the latest is 18:31 on 12 February. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 05:54 on 3 November to 06:25 on 11 February.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Pekanbaru 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 0.5°N buys you.

Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 3m here — among the narrowest of the 170 cities tracked in Indonesia.

Between solstices the sunset walks 47° 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.

Sunset drifts 13 seconds earlier each day this month — 6 minutes from the first of August to the last.

On 22 March and 22 September the midday sun stands at the zenith, 184 days apart. Those are the only two days of the year with no noon shadow. The next one is in 4 weeks.

The longest and shortest days of the year differ by just 4 minutes here. In London the same gap is around 8.8 hours. That is about 148 times less seasonal variation.

Sitting 2 months ago of the longest day (21 June) means the sun has almost stopped drifting — 12h 7m of daylight today, and only 5 minutes of movement in sunset over the next two weeks.

Planning a sunset photo in Pekanbaru

Arrive by 17:37. Golden hour opens at 17:52 and the sun is down by 18:19, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 280° 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 18:32 and runs to 18:40, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.

Golden hour in Pekanbaru — times, duration and the best months Morning and evening windows, the next seven days, and how much golden light each month gives you.
