Longest and shortest day in Almaty

The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 15h 23m of daylight.

Between them the day length swings by 6h 25m.

Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:16 on 9 December; the latest is 19:36 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 04:11 on 15 June to 07:24 on 3 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Almaty different

Clock noon and solar noon are 21 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 11:39 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.

Light lingers for 29 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 5 minutes longer than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 43.3°N buys you.

Evening golden hour runs 56 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 43.3° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

Summer and winter days differ by 6h 25m here, less seasonal variation than almost anywhere else in Kazakhstan we track.

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.

Across October the sunset moves 49 minutes earlier, averaging about 97 seconds a day.

Elevation matters at 783 m. The visible horizon drops 0.97°, pushing sunset 5.4 minutes later and sunrise the same amount earlier than a sea-level observer would see.

Planning a sunset photo in Almaty

Arrive by 16:25. Golden hour opens at 16:40 and the sun is down by 17:18, 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 17:35 and runs to 17:46, the end of civil twilight and 28m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
