Longest and shortest day in Yekaterinburg
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 17h 50m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 6h 44m.
Between them the day length swings by 11h 6m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:16 on 15 December; the latest is 21:55 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 04:03 on 18 June to 09:35 on 28 December.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 19m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Yekaterinburg different
On standard time the sun peaks at 12:59, 59 minutes after clock noon, because the city sits near the western edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way.
From sunset to full civil darkness is 42 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 56.9°N accounts for the 18-minute difference.
Photographers get 77 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.9× the 41 minutes available at the equator on the same date.
Summer and winter days differ by 11h 6m here, more seasonal variation than almost anywhere else in Russia we track.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it SW, June swings it 93° round to NW. Tonight, WNW.
By the end of August the sun will be setting 73 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 2 minutes a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Yekaterinburg
Arrive by 19:03. Golden hour opens at 19:18 and the sun is down by 20:10, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 290° 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 20:35 and runs to 20:51, the end of civil twilight and 41m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
