Longest and shortest day in Manila
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 12h 59m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 11h 15m.
Between them the day length swings by 1h 43m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 5:23 pm on 21 November; the latest is 6:29 pm on 9 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 5:25 am on 2 June to 6:25 am on 22 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 7m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Manila different
Sunset here is followed by about 22 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.
Over a year the sunset point slides 49° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.
Sunset drifts 33 seconds earlier each day this month — 16 minutes from the first of August to the last.
Twice a year the sun passes directly overhead here — on 30 April and 14 August — and vertical objects cast almost no shadow at solar noon.
The times barely move this week: the longest day of the year falls on 21 June, 2 months ago, so day length is changing by under a minute a day. Sunset shifts just 10 minutes earlier over the next fortnight.
Planning a sunset photo in Manila
Arrive by 5:28 pm. Golden hour opens at 5:43 pm and the sun is down by 6:12 pm, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west — the sun goes down at 281° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
