Longest and shortest day in New Delhi
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 13h 58m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 2 months, with 10h 19m.
Between them the day length swings by 3h 38m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 5:23 pm on 2 December; the latest is 7:23 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 5:22 am on 10 June to 7:15 am on 11 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in New Delhi different
It takes roughly 24 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.
The shallow approach angle at 28.6° stretches this evening's golden hour to 46 minutes, against about 40 for a city on the equator today.
The gap between the longest and shortest day of the year comes to 3h 38m, 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, W.
Sunset drifts 61 seconds earlier each day this month — 31 minutes from the first of October to the last.
Planning a sunset photo in New Delhi
Arrive by 5:10 pm. Golden hour opens at 5:25 pm and the sun is down by 5:57 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.
