Longest and shortest day in Raipur
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 13h 25m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 10h 50m.
Between them the day length swings by 2h 35m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 5:20 pm on 27 November; the latest is 6:49 pm on 5 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 5:20 am on 7 June to 6:43 am on 16 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 8m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Raipur different
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.
Over a year the sunset point slides 51° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is WNW.
Across August the sunset moves 22 minutes earlier, averaging about 43 seconds a day.
On 27 May and 17 July the midday sun stands at the zenith, 51 days apart. Those are the only two days of the year with no noon shadow.
Planning a sunset photo in Raipur
Arrive by 5:40 pm. Golden hour opens at 5:55 pm and the sun is down by 6:25 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 281° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
