The earliest sunset of the year is at 18:13 on 10 November; the latest is 18:49 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 06:16 on 25 October to 06:47 on 3 February.

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

What makes sunsets in Port Harcourt different

From sunset to full civil darkness is 21 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 4.8°N accounts for the 3-minute difference.

The gap between the longest and shortest day of the year comes to 33m, one of the narrowest swings of any Nigeria city on the site.

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.

Sunset drifts 20 seconds earlier each day this month — 10 minutes from the first of October to the last.

Being inside the tropics means two zenith passages a year, 2 April and 11 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 33 minutes here. In London the same gap is around 8.8 hours. That is about 16 times less seasonal variation.

The times barely move this week: the shortest day of the year falls on 21 December, in 2 months, so day length is changing by under a minute a day. Sunset shifts just 5 minutes earlier over the next fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in Port Harcourt

Arrive by 17:37. Golden hour opens at 17:52 and the sun is down by 18:20, 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 18:32 and runs to 18:40, the end of civil twilight and 20m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
