Longest and shortest day in Milan
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 15h 40m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 8h 42m.
Between them the day length swings by 6h 58m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:39 on 10 December; the latest is 21:15 on 26 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 05:34 on 16 June to 08:03 on 2 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 13m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Milan different
On standard time the sun peaks at 12:25, 25 minutes after clock noon, because the city sits near the western edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 13:25.
At 45.5°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 31 minutes to arrive: 7 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.
The shallow approach angle at 45.5° stretches this evening's golden hour to 59 minutes, against about 41 for a city on the equator today.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 69° round to NW. Tonight, WNW.
Sunset drifts 97 seconds earlier each day this month — 48 minutes from the first of August to the last.
On 25 October 2026 the local clock shifts back an hour and sunset lands at 17:21 instead of 18:22. Worth knowing if you are planning a shoot that week.
Planning a sunset photo in Milan
Arrive by 19:19. Golden hour opens at 19:34 and the sun is down by 20:13, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 286° 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 20:32 and runs to 20:45, the end of civil twilight and 31m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
