Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:17 on 7 June; the latest is 18:43 on 15 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 05:01 on 28 November to 06:34 on 5 July.

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

What makes sunsets in Nouméa different

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.

Between solstices the sunset walks 51° across the horizon — WSW in midwinter, WNW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is W.

Sunset drifts 25 seconds later each day this month — 12 minutes from the first of October to the last.

Being inside the tropics means two zenith passages a year, 8 January and 5 December, when the sun is straight up at solar noon rather than merely high. The next one is in 8 weeks.

Planning a sunset photo in Nouméa

Arrive by 17:11. Golden hour opens at 17:26 and the sun is down by 17:55, 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 18:09 and runs to 18:18, the end of civil twilight and 22m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
