Longest and shortest day in Vadsø
The longest day falls on 16 May 2026, 3 months ago, with 24h 0m of daylight.
The shortest is 1 January 2026, 8 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 11:18 on 24 November; the latest is 23:27 on 28 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 00:25 on 28 July to 10:52 on 17 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 33m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Vadsø different
Sitting on the eastern side of its time zone puts solar noon at 11:03, a full 57 minutes before twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 12:03.
Light lingers for 87 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 63 minutes longer than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 70.1°N buys you.
Evening golden hour runs 138 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 70.1° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.
The gap between the longest and shortest day of the year comes to 24h 0m, one of the widest swings of any Norway city on the site.
By the end of August the sun will be setting 174 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 6 minutes a day.
The clocks go back on 25 October 2026, so the sunset jumps from 15:35 to 14:30 overnight — the sun has not moved, the clock has.
Astronomical darkness never arrives at this time of year. The sun only gets -9.1° below the horizon at 00:03, short of the -18° that makes the sky properly black, so faint stars stay washed out all night.
Planning a sunset photo in Vadsø
Arrive by 18:35. Golden hour opens at 18:50 and the sun is down by 20:18, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face northwest — the sun goes down at 305° 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 21:07 and runs to 21:45, the end of civil twilight and 1h 26m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
