Longest and shortest day in Gaziantep
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 14h 42m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 9h 36m.
Between them the day length swings by 5h 5m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:13 on 6 December; the latest is 19:54 on 28 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 05:10 on 13 June to 07:44 on 6 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 11m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Gaziantep different
Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:32, a full 33 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.
At 37.1°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 27 minutes to arrive: 3 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.
Evening golden hour runs 51 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 37.1° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.
Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 5h 5m here — among the narrowest of the 112 cities tracked in Turkey.
Over a year the sunset point slides 60° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is WNW.
Across August the sunset moves 37 minutes earlier, averaging about 74 seconds a day.
At 842 m the horizon sits 1° lower than at sea level, so the sun sets about 5.2 minutes later here than the standard tables suggest — roughly 10.4 minutes of extra daylight across the day.
