Longest and shortest day in Cần Thơ
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 12h 42m of daylight.
The shortest is 22 December 2026, in 4 months, with 11h 32m.
Between them the day length swings by 1h 10m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:31 on 16 November; the latest is 18:22 on 13 July. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 05:34 on 29 May to 06:19 on 27 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 7m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Cần Thơ different
From sunset to full civil darkness is 21 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 10°N accounts for the 3-minute difference.
Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 1h 10m here — among the narrowest of the 142 cities tracked in Vietnam.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 48° round to WNW. Tonight, W.
Sunset drifts 26 seconds earlier each day this month — 13 minutes from the first of August to the last.
Twice a year the sun passes directly overhead here — on 16 April and 28 August — and vertical objects cast almost no shadow at solar noon. The next one is in 2 days.
Sitting 2 months ago of the longest day (21 June) means the sun has almost stopped drifting — 12h 21m of daylight today, and only 8 minutes of movement in sunset over the next two weeks.
Planning a sunset photo in Cần Thơ
Arrive by 17:26. Golden hour opens at 17:41 and the sun is down by 18:09, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
