Longest and shortest day in Kirkenes
The longest day falls on 19 May 2026, 5 months ago, with 24h 0m of daylight.
The shortest is 1 January 2026, 9 months ago, with no sunrise at all.
Between them the day length swings by 24h 0m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 11:14 on 26 November; the latest is 23:24 on 16 May. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 00:37 on 27 July to 10:57 on 15 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 32m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Kirkenes different
On standard time the sun peaks at 10:46, 73 minutes before clock noon, because the city sits near the eastern edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 11:46.
From sunset to full civil darkness is 61 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 69.7°N accounts for the 37-minute difference.
Photographers get 127 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 3.2× 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.
Sunset drifts 7 minutes earlier each day this month — 199 minutes from the first of October to the last.
On 25 October 2026 the local clock shifts back an hour and sunset lands at 14:32 instead of 15:36. Worth knowing if you are planning a shoot that week.
Planning a sunset photo in Kirkenes
Arrive by 14:56. Golden hour opens at 15:11 and the sun is down by 16:41, 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 17:19 and runs to 17:42, the end of civil twilight and 1h 0m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
