Longest and shortest day in Kolkata
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 13h 31m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 2 months, with 10h 44m.
Between them the day length swings by 2h 46m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 4:50 pm on 28 November; the latest is 6:25 pm on 4 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 4:51 am on 8 June to 6:18 am on 15 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 8m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Kolkata different
Clock noon and solar noon are 36 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 11:23 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.
It takes roughly 22 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 51° round to WNW. Tonight, W.
Across October the sunset moves 25 minutes earlier, averaging about 49 seconds a day.
Twice a year the sun passes directly overhead here — on 6 June and 8 July — and vertical objects cast almost no shadow at solar noon.
Planning a sunset photo in Kolkata
Arrive by 4:31 pm. Golden hour opens at 4:46 pm and the sun is down by 5:15 pm, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west — the sun goes down at 263° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
