Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:15 on 26 November; the latest is 18:44 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 05:16 on 6 June to 06:38 on 16 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Mérida 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.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 50° round to WNW. Tonight, W.

Sunset drifts 46 seconds earlier each day this month — 23 minutes from the first of October to the last.

Today's earliest sunset in Mexico happens here, 101 minutes earlier than in Ciudad Acuña.

Twice a year the sun passes directly overhead here — on 25 May and 18 July — and vertical objects cast almost no shadow at solar noon.

Planning a sunset photo in Mérida

Arrive by 16:53. Golden hour opens at 17:08 and the sun is down by 17:38, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 263° 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 17:51 and runs to 18:00, the end of civil twilight and 22m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
