Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:21 on 27 November; the latest is 18:53 on 4 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 05:21 on 7 June to 06:47 on 16 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 8m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Mandalay different

Sunset here is followed by about 23 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.

Summer and winter days differ by 2h 41m here, more seasonal variation than almost anywhere else in Myanmar we track.

Between solstices the sunset walks 51° 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.

Sunset drifts 45 seconds earlier each day this month — 22 minutes from the first of August to the last.

Twice a year the sun passes directly overhead here — on 1 June and 12 July — and vertical objects cast almost no shadow at solar noon.

Planning a sunset photo in Mandalay

Arrive by 17:43. Golden hour opens at 17:58 and the sun is down by 18:28, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 281° 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 18:42 and runs to 18:50, the end of civil twilight and 22m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
