The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:28 on 25 May; the latest is 18:04 on 31 January. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 05:09 on 14 November to 05:51 on 17 July.

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

What makes sunsets in Semarang different

From sunset to full civil darkness is 21 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 7°S accounts for the 3-minute difference.

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.

Being inside the tropics means two zenith passages a year, 3 March and 11 October, when the sun is straight up at solar noon rather than merely high. The next one is in 7 weeks.

The longest and shortest days of the year differ by just 49 minutes here. In London the same gap is around 8.8 hours. That is about 11 times less seasonal variation.

The times barely move this week: the shortest 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 2 minutes earlier over the next fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in Semarang

Arrive by 16:55. Golden hour opens at 17:10 and the sun is down by 17:38, 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 17:51 and runs to 17:59, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
