Longest and shortest day in Monaco
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 15h 27m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 8h 54m.
Between them the day length swings by 6h 32m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:52 on 9 December; the latest is 21:16 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 05:47 on 15 June to 08:04 on 3 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 12m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Monaco different
On standard time the sun peaks at 12:32, 32 minutes after clock noon, because the city sits near the western edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 13:32.
At 43.7°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 30 minutes to arrive: 6 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.
The shallow approach angle at 43.7° stretches this evening's golden hour to 57 minutes, against about 41 for a city on the equator today.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 67° round to NW. Tonight, WNW.
Across August the sunset moves 46 minutes earlier, averaging about 91 seconds a day.
Expect a one-off hour-long step in these times on 25 October 2026: sunset goes from 18:32 the evening before to 17:31 that evening.
Planning a sunset photo in Monaco
Arrive by 19:24. Golden hour opens at 19:39 and the sun is down by 20:18, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 286° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
