Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:27 on 9 December; the latest is 20:44 on 27 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 05:22 on 15 June to 08:32 on 3 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Bishkek different

Clock noon and solar noon are 49 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:48 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.

From sunset to full civil darkness is 28 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 42.9°N accounts for the 4-minute difference.

The shallow approach angle at 42.9° stretches this evening's golden hour to 55 minutes, against about 40 for a city on the equator today.

Over a year the sunset point slides 66° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to NW in June. Today it is W.

By the end of October the sun will be setting 48 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 96 seconds a day.

At 767 m the horizon sits 0.96° lower than at sea level, so the sun sets about 5.3 minutes later here than the standard tables suggest — roughly 10.6 minutes of extra daylight across the day.

Planning a sunset photo in Bishkek

Arrive by 17:34. Golden hour opens at 17:49 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 262° 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 18:45 and runs to 18:56, the end of civil twilight and 28m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
