Longest and shortest day in Visakhapatnam
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 13h 11m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 11h 4m.
Between them the day length swings by 2h 7m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 5:20 pm on 24 November; the latest is 6:36 pm on 7 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 5:21 am on 5 June to 6:31 am on 19 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 8m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Visakhapatnam different
It takes roughly 22 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.
Over a year the sunset point slides 49° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.
Sunset drifts 38 seconds earlier each day this month — 19 minutes from the first of August to the last.
Being inside the tropics means two zenith passages a year, 11 May and 3 August, when the sun is straight up at solar noon rather than merely high.
The times barely move this week: the longest day of the year falls on 21 June, 2 months ago, so day length is changing by under a minute a day. Sunset shifts just 11 minutes earlier over the next fortnight.
Planning a sunset photo in Visakhapatnam
Arrive by 5:31 pm. Golden hour opens at 5:46 pm and the sun is down by 6:15 pm, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
