Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:18 on 4 June; the latest is 18:28 on 19 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 05:02 on 25 November to 06:18 on 7 July.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Port-Vila different

Sitting on the eastern side of its time zone puts solar noon at 11:33, a full 26 minutes before twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.

It takes roughly 22 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.

Over a year the sunset point slides 49° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.

By the end of October the sun will be setting 8 minutes later than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 16 seconds a day.

Being inside the tropics means two zenith passages a year, 30 January and 13 November, when the sun is straight up at solar noon rather than merely high. The next one is in 5 weeks.

The times barely move this week: the longest day of the year falls on 21 December, in 2 months, so day length is changing by under a minute a day. Sunset shifts just 4 minutes later over the next fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in Port-Vila

Arrive by 17:02. Golden hour opens at 17:17 and the sun is down by 17:45, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 263° 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 17:59 and runs to 18:07, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
