Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:00 on 26 November; the latest is 19:31 on 4 July. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 05:48 on 2 November to 06:58 on 9 March.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 8m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Cockburn Town different

Sitting on the eastern side of its time zone puts solar noon at 11:31, a full 28 minutes before twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 12:31.

Sunset here is followed by about 22 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.

Between solstices the sunset walks 51° 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 October the sun will be setting 24 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 47 seconds a day.

The clocks go back on 1 November 2026, so the sunset jumps from 18:08 to 17:08 overnight — the sun has not moved, the clock has.

On 28 May and 15 July the midday sun stands at the zenith, 48 days apart. Those are the only two days of the year with no noon shadow.

Planning a sunset photo in Cockburn Town

Arrive by 17:39. Golden hour opens at 17:54 and the sun is down by 18:24, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 263° 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 18:37 and runs to 18:46, the end of civil twilight and 22m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
