Longest and shortest day in Bhopal
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 13h 33m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 10h 42m.
Between them the day length swings by 2h 51m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 5:33 pm on 28 November; the latest is 7:10 pm on 3 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 5:33 am on 8 June to 7:04 am on 15 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 8m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Bhopal different
Clock noon and solar noon are 22 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:22 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.
Sunset here is followed by about 23 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 51° round to WNW. Tonight, WNW.
By the end of August the sun will be setting 23 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 47 seconds a day.
Standing 523 m up buys you 3.5 extra minutes of evening sun: the higher you are, the further over the curve of the Earth you can see, by 0.79° here.
Planning a sunset photo in Bhopal
Arrive by 5:58 pm. Golden hour opens at 6:13 pm and the sun is down by 6:43 pm, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 282° 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 6:57 pm and runs to 7:06 pm, the end of civil twilight and 23m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
