Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:34 on 3 December; the latest is 19:48 on 30 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 05:33 on 12 June to 05:49 on 25 October.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Jerusalem different

It takes roughly 25 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.

Evening golden hour runs 48 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 31.8° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

The gap between the longest and shortest day of the year comes to 4h 9m, one of the narrowest swings of any Israel city on the site.

Between solstices the sunset walks 56° 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 WNW.

Across August the sunset moves 31 minutes earlier, averaging about 62 seconds a day.

The clocks go back on 25 October 2026, so the sunset jumps from 17:57 to 16:56 overnight — the sun has not moved, the clock has.

Among 18 tracked Israel cities, sunset comes earliest here, separated from Ashkelon by 2 minutes.

Standing 786 m up buys you 4.7 extra minutes of evening sun: the higher you are, the further over the curve of the Earth you can see, by 0.97° here.

Planning a sunset photo in Jerusalem

Arrive by 18:24. Golden hour opens at 18:39 and the sun is down by 19:11, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 283° 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 19:27 and runs to 19:37, the end of civil twilight and 25m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
