Longest and shortest day in Kyiv
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 16h 26m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 2 months, with 7h 59m.
Between them the day length swings by 8h 26m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 15:53 on 12 December; the latest is 21:13 on 25 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 04:45 on 17 June to 07:58 on 31 December.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 15m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Kyiv different
At 50.5°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 33 minutes to arrive: 9 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.
Photographers get 64 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.6× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.
Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 8h 26m here — among the widest of the 91 cities tracked in Ukraine.
Over a year the sunset point slides 77° along the horizon, from SW at the December solstice to NW in June. Today it is W.
Across October the sunset moves 121 minutes earlier, averaging about 4 minutes a day.
On 25 October 2026 the local clock shifts back an hour and sunset lands at 16:46 instead of 17:48. Worth knowing if you are planning a shoot that week.
Planning a sunset photo in Kyiv
Arrive by 17:17. Golden hour opens at 17:32 and the sun is down by 18:16, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west — the sun goes down at 260° 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 18:49, the end of civil twilight and 32m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
