Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:32 on 20 November; the latest is 18:36 on 9 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 05:34 on 1 June to 06:32 on 23 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 7m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Castries different

From sunset to full civil darkness is 21 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 14°N accounts for the 3-minute difference.

Between solstices the sunset walks 48° 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 W.

Across October the sunset moves 17 minutes earlier, averaging about 34 seconds a day.

Being inside the tropics means two zenith passages a year, 28 April and 15 August, when the sun is straight up at solar noon rather than merely high.

Around a solstice the day length flattens out, and that is where the calendar is now: the shortest day is 21 December, in 2 months, and sunset moves a mere 8 minutes earlier in the coming fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in Castries

Arrive by 17:04. Golden hour opens at 17:19 and the sun is down by 17:47, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 263° 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 18:00 and runs to 18:08, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
