Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:49 on 2 December; the latest is 18:51 on 1 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 04:47 on 11 June to 06:43 on 10 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Kuwait City different

Sunset here is followed by about 24 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.

Photographers get 47 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.1× the 41 minutes available at the equator on the same date.

Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 3h 45m here — among the widest of the 5 cities tracked in Kuwait.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 54° round to WNW. Tonight, WNW.

By the end of August the sun will be setting 29 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 58 seconds a day.

Of the 5 Kuwait cities tracked here, this one sees the latest sunset today — 1 minutes apart from Al Aḩmadī at the other end of the country.

Planning a sunset photo in Kuwait City

Arrive by 17:31. Golden hour opens at 17:46 and the sun is down by 18:18, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 283° 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 18:33 and runs to 18:42, the end of civil twilight and 24m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
