Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 15:54 on 13 December; the latest is 21:55 on 24 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 04:44 on 17 June to 08:38 on 29 December.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 17m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Douglas different

At 54.2°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 38 minutes to arrive: 14 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.

Evening golden hour runs 71 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 54.2° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

Over a year the sunset point slides 86° along the horizon, from SW at the December solstice to NW in June. Today it is WNW.

Sunset drifts 2 minutes earlier each day this month — 65 minutes from the first of August to the last.

The clocks go back on 25 October 2026, so the sunset jumps from 18:00 to 16:57 overnight — the sun has not moved, the clock has.

Planning a sunset photo in Douglas

Arrive by 19:22. Golden hour opens at 19:37 and the sun is down by 20:25, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 289° 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 20:49 and runs to 21:04, the end of civil twilight and 38m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
