Longest and shortest day in Auckland
The longest day falls on 22 December 2026, in 2 months, with 14h 41m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 9h 37m.
Between them the day length swings by 5h 3m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 5:10 pm on 13 June; the latest is 8:43 pm on 6 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 5:54 am on 7 December to 6:37 am on 5 April.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Auckland different
Sunset here is followed by about 26 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.
Photographers get 51 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.3× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.
Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 5h 3m here — among the narrowest of the 9 cities tracked in New Zealand.
Between solstices the sunset walks 60° 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.
Sunset drifts 56 seconds later each day this month — 28 minutes from the first of October to the last.
Expect a one-off hour-long step in these times on 4 April 2027: sunset goes from 7:12 pm the evening before to 6:11 pm that evening.
Planning a sunset photo in Auckland
Arrive by 6:42 pm. Golden hour opens at 6:57 pm and the sun is down by 7:32 pm, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west — the sun goes down at 261° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
