Longest and shortest day in Daejeon
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 14h 38m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 9h 40m.
Between them the day length swings by 4h 57m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:15 on 6 December; the latest is 19:52 on 29 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 05:12 on 13 June to 07:42 on 7 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Daejeon different
Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:32, a full 32 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.
Light lingers for 27 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 3 minutes longer than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 36.3°N buys you.
Evening golden hour runs 51 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 36.3° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 59° round to WNW. Tonight, WNW.
By the end of August the sun will be setting 36 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 72 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Daejeon
Arrive by 18:17. Golden hour opens at 18:32 and the sun is down by 19:07, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 284° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
