Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 18:18 on 14 November; the latest is 19:04 on 14 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 06:22 on 27 May to 07:02 on 29 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 7m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Ilorin different

Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:43, a full 44 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.

From sunset to full civil darkness is 21 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 8.5°N accounts for the 3-minute difference.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 47° round to WNW. Tonight, W.

Across August the sunset moves 12 minutes earlier, averaging about 24 seconds a day.

Twice a year the sun passes directly overhead here — on 12 April and 1 September — and vertical objects cast almost no shadow at solar noon. The next one is in 7 days.

Sunset lands at close to the same time all year — the annual spread in day length is only 59 minutes, compared with about 8.8 hours at London's latitude.

Around a solstice the day length flattens out, and that is where the calendar is now: the longest day is 21 June, 2 months ago, and sunset moves a mere 8 minutes earlier in the coming fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in Ilorin

Arrive by 18:10. Golden hour opens at 18:25 and the sun is down by 18:53, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — 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 19:06 and runs to 19:15, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
