Longest and shortest day in Port-aux-Français
The longest day falls on 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 16h 15m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 8h 10m.
Between them the day length swings by 8h 5m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:25 on 16 June; the latest is 20:27 on 31 December. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 04:07 on 13 December to 08:16 on 26 June.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 8m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Port-aux-Français different
On standard time the sun peaks at 12:21, 21 minutes after clock noon, because the city sits near the western edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way.
At 49.3°S the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 32 minutes to arrive: 8 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.
The shallow approach angle at 49.3° stretches this evening's golden hour to 65 minutes, against about 41 for a city on the equator today.
Over a year the sunset point slides 75° along the horizon, from SW at the December solstice to NW in June. Today it is WNW.
By the end of August the sun will be setting 42 minutes later than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 84 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Port-aux-Français
Arrive by 16:37. Golden hour opens at 16:52 and the sun is down by 17:37, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 285° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
