Longest and shortest day in Montevideo
The longest day falls on 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 14h 30m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 9h 48m.
Between them the day length swings by 4h 41m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:39 on 12 June; the latest is 20:02 on 6 January. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 05:24 on 6 December to 07:53 on 29 June.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Montevideo different
Clock noon and solar noon are 47 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:46 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.
Sunset here is followed by about 26 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.
Evening golden hour runs 50 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 34.9° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 58° round to WNW. Tonight, WNW.
By the end of August the sun will be setting 22 minutes later than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 44 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Montevideo
Arrive by 17:31. Golden hour opens at 17:46 and the sun is down by 18:21, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 282° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
