Longest and shortest day in Incheon
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 14h 44m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 9h 34m.
Between them the day length swings by 5h 10m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:14 on 7 December; the latest is 19:58 on 28 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 05:11 on 14 June to 07:48 on 6 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 11m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Incheon different
Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:35, a full 35 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 37.5°N buys you.
Photographers get 52 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.3× the 41 minutes available at the equator on the same date.
Between solstices the sunset walks 60° across the horizon — WSW in midwinter, WNW 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 37 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 74 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Incheon
Arrive by 18:21. Golden hour opens at 18:36 and the sun is down by 19:11, 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.
