Longest and shortest day in Adamstown
The longest day falls on 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 13h 41m of daylight.
The shortest is 20 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 10h 34m.
Between them the day length swings by 3h 7m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:58 on 8 June; the latest is 19:35 on 12 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 05:42 on 30 November to 07:26 on 3 July.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Adamstown different
On standard time the sun peaks at 12:42, 42 minutes after clock noon, because the city sits near the western edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way.
It takes roughly 23 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.
Photographers get 45 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.1× the 41 minutes available at the equator on the same date.
Between solstices the sunset walks 52° 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 August the sun will be setting 13 minutes later than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 25 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Adamstown
Arrive by 17:40. Golden hour opens at 17:55 and the sun is down by 18:26, 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.
Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 18:40 and runs to 18:49, the end of civil twilight and 23m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
