The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:03 on 30 November; the latest is 18:47 on 3 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 05:03 on 9 June to 06:40 on 13 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Taipei different

Sunset here is followed by about 23 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.

Photographers get 45 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.1× the 41 minutes available at the equator on the same date.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 52° round to WNW. Tonight, WNW.

Sunset drifts 50 seconds earlier each day this month — 25 minutes from the first of August to the last.

Planning a sunset photo in Taipei

Arrive by 17:33. Golden hour opens at 17:48 and the sun is down by 18:19, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 282° 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 18:33 and runs to 18:42, the end of civil twilight and 23m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
