Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:29 on 24 November; the latest is 18:46 on 6 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 05:30 on 4 June to 06:41 on 19 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 8m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Kingston different

It takes roughly 22 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 49° round to WNW. Tonight, W.

Sunset drifts 41 seconds earlier each day this month — 20 minutes from the first of October to the last.

On 11 May and 1 August the midday sun stands at the zenith, 82 days apart. Those are the only two days of the year with no noon shadow.

Around a solstice the day length flattens out, and that is where the calendar is now: the shortest day is 21 December, in 2 months, and sunset moves a mere 10 minutes earlier in the coming fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in Kingston

Arrive by 17:04. Golden hour opens at 17:19 and the sun is down by 17:48, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 263° 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 18:02 and runs to 18:10, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
