Longest and shortest day in Kingston
The longest day falls on 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 14h 0m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 10h 17m.
Between them the day length swings by 3h 43m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:57 on 10 June; the latest is 19:51 on 10 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 06:23 on 4 October to 06:00 on 5 April.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Kingston different
It takes roughly 24 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.
Photographers get 47 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.1× the 41 minutes available at the equator on the same date.
Between solstices the sunset walks 54° 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 WNW.
Across August the sunset moves 16 minutes later, averaging about 32 seconds a day.
Expect a one-off hour-long step in these times on 4 October 2026: sunset goes from 17:50 the evening before to 18:50 that evening.
Planning a sunset photo in Kingston
Arrive by 16:43. Golden hour opens at 16:58 and the sun is down by 17:30, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 281° 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 17:45 and runs to 17:54, the end of civil twilight and 24m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
