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 14:03, 124 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 3:03 pm.

At 64.5°N the sun cuts through the twilight band at an angle, so darkness takes 57 minutes to arrive: 33 minutes longer than today's 24-minute median.

The shallow approach angle at 64.5° stretches this evening's golden hour to 101 minutes, against about 41 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 WNW.

By the end of August the sun will be setting 1333 minutes later than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 44 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.

Astronomical darkness never arrives at this time of year. The sun only gets -14.8° below the horizon at 3:03 am, short of the -18° that makes the sky properly black, so faint stars stay washed out all night.

Planning a sunset photo in Nome

Arrive by 9:20 pm. Golden hour opens at 9:35 pm and the sun is down by 10:42 pm, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 297° 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 11:16 pm and runs to 11:39 pm, the end of civil twilight and 57m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
