Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 15:41 on 15 December; the latest is 22:21 on 24 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 04:28 on 18 June to 09:01 on 28 December.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 19m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Riga different

From sunset to full civil darkness is 38 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 56.9°N accounts for the 14-minute difference.

Evening golden hour runs 76 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 56.9° 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 SW, June swings it 94° round to NW. Tonight, W.

By the end of October the sun will be setting 137 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 5 minutes a day.

The clocks go back on 25 October 2026, so the sunset jumps from 17:58 to 16:56 overnight — the sun has not moved, the clock has.

Planning a sunset photo in Riga

Arrive by 17:27. Golden hour opens at 17:42 and the sun is down by 18:34, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 259° 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 18:57 and runs to 19:12, the end of civil twilight and 38m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
