The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:35 on 3 December; the latest is 19:53 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 05:33 on 11 June to 05:59 on 1 November.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Mexicali different

It takes roughly 25 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.

Photographers get 49 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.2× the 41 minutes available at the equator on the same date.

Summer and winter days differ by 4h 17m here, more seasonal variation than almost anywhere else in Mexico we track.

Across August the sunset moves 32 minutes earlier, averaging about 65 seconds a day.

On 1 November 2026 the local clock shifts back an hour and sunset lands at 16:50 instead of 17:51. Worth knowing if you are planning a shoot that week.

Planning a sunset photo in Mexicali

Arrive by 18:26. Golden hour opens at 18:41 and the sun is down by 19:15, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 283° 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 19:30 and runs to 19:40, the end of civil twilight and 25m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
