Longest and shortest day in Aba
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 12h 25m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 2 months, with 11h 49m.
Between them the day length swings by 35m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 18:11 on 10 November; the latest is 18:48 on 18 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 06:15 on 24 October to 06:46 on 3 February.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 7m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Aba different
From sunset to full civil darkness is 21 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 5.1°N accounts for the 3-minute difference.
Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 35m here — among the narrowest of the 110 cities tracked in Nigeria.
Over a year the sunset point slides 47° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.
By the end of October the sun will be setting 10 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 20 seconds a day.
Being inside the tropics means two zenith passages a year, 3 April and 10 September, when the sun is straight up at solar noon rather than merely high.
The longest and shortest days of the year differ by just 36 minutes here. In London the same gap is around 8.8 hours. That is about 15 times less seasonal variation.
Sitting in 2 months of the shortest day (21 December) means the sun has almost stopped drifting — 12h 1m of daylight today, and only 5 minutes of movement in sunset over the next two weeks.
Planning a sunset photo in Aba
Arrive by 17:35. Golden hour opens at 17:50 and the sun is down by 18:18, 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.
