Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:37 on 5 June; the latest is 18:55 on 16 January. 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 27 November to 06:46 on 6 July.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Port Louis different

Sunset here is followed by about 22 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.

Between solstices the sunset walks 50° 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 W.

Sunset drifts 21 seconds later each day this month — 10 minutes from the first of October to the last.

Twice a year the sun passes directly overhead here — on 20 January and 23 November — and vertical objects cast almost no shadow at solar noon. The next one is in 6 weeks.

Planning a sunset photo in Port Louis

Arrive by 17:26. Golden hour opens at 17:41 and the sun is down by 18:10, 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 18:24 and runs to 18:32, the end of civil twilight and 22m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
