Longest and shortest day in Panama City
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 12h 38m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 2 months, with 11h 35m.
Between them the day length swings by 1h 2m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:53 on 15 November; the latest is 18:42 on 13 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 05:57 on 27 May to 06:39 on 28 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 7m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Panama City different
Light lingers for 21 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 3 minutes shorter than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 9°N buys you.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 48° round to WNW. Tonight, W.
Sunset drifts 26 seconds earlier each day this month — 13 minutes from the first of October to the last.
Twice a year the sun passes directly overhead here — on 13 April and 30 August — and vertical objects cast almost no shadow at solar noon.
Around a solstice the day length flattens out, and that is where the calendar is now: the shortest day is 21 December, in 2 months, and sunset moves a mere 6 minutes earlier in the coming fortnight.
Planning a sunset photo in Panama City
Arrive by 17:21. Golden hour opens at 17:36 and the sun is down by 18:04, 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 18:16 and runs to 18:25, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
