Longest and shortest day in Nome

The longest day falls on 20 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 21h 28m of daylight.

The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 2 months, with 3h 54m.

Between them the day length swings by 17h 33m.

Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 3:56 pm on 18 December; the latest is 1:47 am on 21 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 4:19 am on 20 June to 12:03 pm on 24 December.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 30m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Nome different

On standard time the sun peaks at 13:48, 109 minutes after clock noon, because the city sits near the western edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 2:48 pm.

At 64.5°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 48 minutes to arrive: 24 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.

The shallow approach angle at 64.5° stretches this evening's golden hour to 98 minutes, against about 40 for a city on the equator today.

The gap between the longest and shortest day of the year comes to 17h 33m, one of the widest swings of any United States city on the site.

Between solstices the sunset walks 136° across the horizon — SSW in midwinter, NNW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is WSW.

By the end of October the sun will be setting 105 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 3 minutes a day.

On 1 November 2026 the local clock shifts back an hour and sunset lands at 5:40 pm instead of 6:44 pm. Worth knowing if you are planning a shoot that week.

Of the 358 United States cities tracked here, this one sees the latest sunset today — 122 minutes apart from Tucson at the other end of the country.

Planning a sunset photo in Nome

Arrive by 6:37 pm. Golden hour opens at 6:52 pm and the sun is down by 8:00 pm, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west-southwest — the sun goes down at 256° 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 8:30 pm and runs to 8:48 pm, the end of civil twilight and 48m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
