Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 11:46 on 21 November; the latest is 23:42 on 31 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 00:54 on 13 May to 11:12 on 20 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 21m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Hammerfest different

Clock noon and solar noon are 48 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 11:12 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 12:12.

At 70.7°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 64 minutes to arrive: 40 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.

Photographers get 135 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 3.4× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.

Summer and winter days differ by 24h 0m here, more seasonal variation than almost anywhere else in Norway we track.

Across October the sunset moves 208 minutes earlier, averaging about 7 minutes a day.

On 25 October 2026 the local clock shifts back an hour and sunset lands at 14:49 instead of 15:54. Worth knowing if you are planning a shoot that week.

Planning a sunset photo in Hammerfest

Arrive by 15:13. Golden hour opens at 15:28 and the sun is down by 17:03, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west-southwest — the sun goes down at 252° 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 17:42 and runs to 18:07, the end of civil twilight and 1h 3m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
