Longest and shortest day in Brooklyn
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 15h 5m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 2 months, with 9h 15m.
Between them the day length swings by 5h 49m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 4:28 pm on 8 December; the latest is 8:30 pm on 27 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 5:24 am on 14 June to 6:26 am on 1 November.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 11m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Brooklyn different
At 40.7°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.
The shallow approach angle at 40.7° stretches this evening's golden hour to 54 minutes, against about 40 for a city on the equator today.
Between solstices the sunset walks 63° 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 45 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 89 seconds a day.
Expect a one-off hour-long step in these times on 1 November 2026: sunset goes from 5:53 pm the evening before to 4:52 pm that evening.
Planning a sunset photo in Brooklyn
Arrive by 5:31 pm. Golden hour opens at 5:46 pm and the sun is down by 6:23 pm, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west — the sun goes down at 262° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
