Longest and shortest day in Valletta
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 14h 35m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 2 months, with 9h 43m.
Between them the day length swings by 4h 52m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:47 on 6 December; the latest is 20:22 on 29 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 05:44 on 13 June to 06:17 on 25 October.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Valletta different
Sunset here is followed by about 26 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.
Photographers get 50 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.3× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.
Over a year the sunset point slides 59° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.
Sunset drifts 3 minutes earlier each day this month — 99 minutes from the first of October to the last.
On 25 October 2026 the local clock shifts back an hour and sunset lands at 17:14 instead of 18:15. Worth knowing if you are planning a shoot that week.
Planning a sunset photo in Valletta
Arrive by 17:43. Golden hour opens at 17:58 and the sun is down by 18:33, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west — the sun goes down at 262° 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 18:48 and runs to 18:58, the end of civil twilight and 25m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
