Sunset and sunrise times in Puebla, Mexico

Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:34, a full 35 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.

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 gap between the longest and shortest day of the year comes to 2h 17m, one of the narrowest swings of any Mexico city on the site.

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

Sunset drifts 40 seconds earlier each day this month — 20 minutes from the first of August to the last.

Twice a year the sun passes directly overhead here — on 16 May and 28 July — and vertical objects cast almost no shadow at solar noon.

At 2,166 m the horizon sits 1.61° lower than at sea level, so the sun sets about 7 minutes later here than the standard tables suggest — roughly 13.9 minutes of extra daylight across the day.

Sitting 2 months ago of the longest day (21 June) means the sun has almost stopped drifting — 12h 36m of daylight today, and only 12 minutes of movement in sunset over the next two weeks.
