Longest and shortest day in Tripoli

The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 14h 19m of daylight.

The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 9h 58m.

Between them the day length swings by 4h 20m.

Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 18:00 on 4 December; the latest is 20:19 on 30 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 05:58 on 12 June to 08:10 on 8 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Tripoli different

Clock noon and solar noon are 69 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 13:09 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.

Sunset here is followed by about 25 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.

Evening golden hour runs 49 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 32.9° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

The gap between the longest and shortest day of the year comes to 4h 20m, one of the widest swings of any Libya city on the site.

Between solstices the sunset walks 57° 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 32 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 65 seconds a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Tripoli

Arrive by 18:53. Golden hour opens at 19:08 and the sun is down by 19:41, 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 19:56 and runs to 20:06, the end of civil twilight and 25m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.

Golden hour in Tripoli — times, duration and the best months Morning and evening windows, the next seven days, and how much golden light each month gives you.
