Longest and shortest day in Meerut
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 13h 59m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 10h 17m.
Between them the day length swings by 3h 42m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 5:21 pm on 2 December; the latest is 7:21 pm on 1 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 5:19 am on 11 June to 7:14 am on 11 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Meerut different
Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:21, a full 21 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.
Sunset here is followed by about 24 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.
Photographers get 47 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.1× the 41 minutes available at the equator on the same date.
The gap between the longest and shortest day of the year comes to 3h 42m, one of the widest swings of any India city on the site.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 54° round to WNW. Tonight, WNW.
Across August the sunset moves 28 minutes earlier, averaging about 57 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Meerut
Arrive by 6:01 pm. Golden hour opens at 6:16 pm and the sun is down by 6:48 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 7:02 pm and runs to 7:12 pm, the end of civil twilight and 24m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
