Longest and shortest day in Saint Helier
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 16h 14m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 8h 11m.
Between them the day length swings by 8h 2m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:10 on 11 December; the latest is 21:17 on 25 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 05:02 on 16 June to 08:03 on 1 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 14m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Saint Helier different
At 49.2°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 34 minutes to arrive: 10 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.
The shallow approach angle at 49.2° stretches this evening's golden hour to 63 minutes, against about 41 for a city on the equator today.
Between solstices the sunset walks 75° across the horizon — SW in midwinter, NW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is WNW.
By the end of August the sun will be setting 55 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 109 seconds a day.
The clocks go back on 25 October 2026, so the sunset jumps from 18:01 to 16:59 overnight — the sun has not moved, the clock has.
Planning a sunset photo in Saint Helier
Arrive by 19:07. Golden hour opens at 19:22 and the sun is down by 20:05, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 287° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
