The longest day falls on 10 May 2026, 4 months ago, with 24h 0m of daylight.

Between them the day length swings by 24h 0m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 13:09 on 25 January; the latest is 23:44 on 4 August. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 00:55 on 4 August to 12:05 on 25 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 31m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Tiksi different
Clock noon and solar noon are 26 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:26 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.
From sunset to full civil darkness is 103 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 71.7°N accounts for the 79-minute difference.
Photographers get 154 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 3.8× the 41 minutes available at the equator on the same date.
Summer and winter days differ by 24h 0m here, more seasonal variation than almost anywhere else in Russia we track.
In two weeks the sun will be setting 76 minutes earlier than tonight, a change of roughly 5 minutes a day.
There is no true astronomical night here right now: the sun bottoms out at -7.7° below the horizon around 00:26, and the sky keeps a faint glow until dawn.
Planning a sunset photo in Tiksi
Arrive by 19:00. Golden hour opens at 19:15 and the sun is down by 20:52, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face northwest — the sun goes down at 308° 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 21:49 and runs to 22:36, the end of civil twilight and 1h 43m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
