Longest and shortest day in New York City
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 50m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 4:28 pm on 8 December; the latest is 8:31 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 New York City different
Light lingers for 27 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 3 minutes longer than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 40.7°N buys you.
Photographers get 54 minutes of golden light this evening, roughly 1.4× the 40 minutes available at the equator on the same date.
Over a year the sunset point slides 63° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.
Sunset drifts 89 seconds earlier each day this month — 45 minutes from the first of October to the last.
On 1 November 2026 the local clock shifts back an hour and sunset lands at 4:52 pm instead of 5:53 pm. Worth knowing if you are planning a shoot that week.
Planning a sunset photo in New York City
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.
