Longest and shortest day in Kaduna

The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 12h 44m of daylight.

The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 2 months, with 11h 30m.

Between them the day length swings by 1h 13m.

Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 18:04 on 17 November; the latest is 18:56 on 12 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 06:07 on 29 May to 06:53 on 27 January.

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

What makes sunsets in Kaduna different

Light lingers for 21 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 3 minutes shorter than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 10.5°N buys you.

The gap between the longest and shortest day of the year comes to 1h 13m, one of the widest swings of any Nigeria city on the site.

Between solstices the sunset walks 48° 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.

Across October the sunset moves 14 minutes earlier, averaging about 29 seconds a day.

On 17 April and 26 August the midday sun stands at the zenith, 131 days apart. Those are the only two days of the year with no noon shadow.

Standing 626 m up buys you 3.5 extra minutes of evening sun: the higher you are, the further over the curve of the Earth you can see, by 0.87° here.

Around a solstice the day length flattens out, and that is where the calendar is now: the shortest day is 21 December, in 2 months, and sunset moves a mere 7 minutes earlier in the coming fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in Kaduna

Arrive by 17:32. Golden hour opens at 17:47 and the sun is down by 18:15, 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.

Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 18:28 and runs to 18:36, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
