Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

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 32 minutes to arrive: 8 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 40 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 W.

By the end of October the sun will be setting 118 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 4 minutes 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 17:30. Golden hour opens at 17:45 and the sun is down by 18:28, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 260° 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 18:48 and runs to 19:00, the end of civil twilight and 31m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
