Longest and shortest day in Samara
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 16h 58m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 7h 31m.
Between them the day length swings by 9h 27m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:21 on 13 December; the latest is 21:10 on 24 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 04:11 on 17 June to 08:54 on 30 December.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 16m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Samara different
On standard time the sun peaks at 12:41, 41 minutes after clock noon, because the city sits near the western edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way.
Light lingers for 37 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 13 minutes longer than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 53.2°N buys you.
The shallow approach angle at 53.2° stretches this evening's golden hour to 70 minutes, against about 41 for a city on the equator today.
Between solstices the sunset walks 83° across the horizon — SW in midwinter, NW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is WNW.
Sunset drifts 2 minutes earlier each day this month — 63 minutes from the first of August to the last.
Planning a sunset photo in Samara
Arrive by 18:41. Golden hour opens at 18:56 and the sun is down by 19:43, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 288° 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 20:05 and runs to 20:20, the end of civil twilight and 37m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
