Longest and shortest day in Peshawar
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 14h 25m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 9h 53m.
Between them the day length swings by 4h 32m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:04 on 5 December; the latest is 19:28 on 29 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 05:01 on 12 June to 07:19 on 8 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Peshawar 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.
The shallow approach angle at 34° stretches this evening's golden hour to 49 minutes, against about 41 for a city on the equator today.
Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 4h 32m here — among the widest of the 136 cities tracked in Pakistan.
Over a year the sunset point slides 57° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is WNW.
Across August the sunset moves 33 minutes earlier, averaging about 67 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Peshawar
Arrive by 17:59. Golden hour opens at 18:14 and the sun is down by 18:47, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 283° 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 19:03 and runs to 19:13, the end of civil twilight and 25m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
