Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:05 on 8 June; the latest is 18:46 on 12 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 04:49 on 1 December to 06:37 on 3 July.

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

What makes sunsets in Maputo different

On standard time the sun peaks at 11:36, 23 minutes before clock noon, because the city sits near the eastern edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way.

Sunset here is followed by about 23 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.

Evening golden hour runs 45 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 26° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 3h 15m here — among the widest of the 17 cities tracked in Mozambique.

Over a year the sunset point slides 53° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.

Across October the sunset moves 16 minutes later, averaging about 32 seconds a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Maputo

Arrive by 17:08. Golden hour opens at 17:23 and the sun is down by 17:53, 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 18:08 and runs to 18:17, the end of civil twilight and 23m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
