Longest and shortest day in Alofi
The longest day falls on 21 December 2026, in 2 months, with 13h 16m of daylight.
The shortest is 20 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 10h 58m.
Between them the day length swings by 2h 17m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:49 on 4 June; the latest is 19:03 on 17 January. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 05:32 on 25 November to 06:53 on 6 July.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Alofi different
It takes roughly 22 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.
Between solstices the sunset walks 50° 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.
By the end of October the sun will be setting 10 minutes later than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 19 seconds a day.
Twice a year the sun passes directly overhead here — on 24 January and 17 November — and vertical objects cast almost no shadow at solar noon. The next one is in 6 weeks.
Planning a sunset photo in Alofi
Arrive by 17:35. Golden hour opens at 17:50 and the sun is down by 18:19, 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 18:33 and runs to 18:41, the end of civil twilight and 22m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
