Longest and shortest day in Jacksonville
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 14h 6m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 10h 11m.
Between them the day length swings by 3h 55m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 5:25 pm on 2 December; the latest is 8:32 pm on 30 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 6:24 am on 11 June to 7:43 am on 9 March.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Jacksonville different
Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:28, a full 29 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 1:28 pm.
It takes roughly 25 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.
Evening golden hour runs 47 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 30.3° 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 3h 55m here — among the narrowest of the 358 cities tracked in United States.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 55° round to WNW. Tonight, WNW.
Sunset drifts 60 seconds earlier each day this month — 30 minutes from the first of August to the last.
The clocks go back on 1 November 2026, so the sunset jumps from 6:39 pm to 5:38 pm overnight — the sun has not moved, the clock has.
