Longest and shortest day in Santiago de Querétaro
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 13h 22m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 2 months, with 10h 52m.
Between them the day length swings by 2h 29m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:59 on 26 November; the latest is 19:26 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 06:00 on 6 June to 07:20 on 16 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 8m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Santiago de Querétaro different
On standard time the sun peaks at 12:28, 28 minutes after clock noon, because the city sits near the western edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way.
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 45 seconds earlier each day this month — 23 minutes from the first of October to the last.
Twice a year the sun passes directly overhead here — on 23 May and 20 July — and vertical objects cast almost no shadow at solar noon.
At 1,826 m the horizon sits 1.48° lower than at sea level, so the sun sets about 6.4 minutes later here than the standard tables suggest — roughly 12.7 minutes of extra daylight across the day.
Planning a sunset photo in Santiago de Querétaro
Arrive by 17:37. Golden hour opens at 17:52 and the sun is down by 18:21, 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.
