Edmonton sunset facts for 2027

Earliest sunset of 2027: December 13 at 5:14 pm.
Latest sunset of 2027: June 24 at 10:07 pm.
Latest sunrise of 2027: December 30 at 9:51 am.
Shortest day: December 20, 7h 26m of daylight. Longest day: June 20, 17h 02m.

The earliest sunset doesn’t fall on the shortest day. Because of the tilt of Earth’s axis and its elliptical orbit, solar noon drifts through the year, so in the Northern Hemisphere the earliest sunsets come a couple of weeks before the December solstice and the latest sunrises a couple of weeks after it. Where clocks change for daylight saving time, the latest clock-time sunrise often lands just before the clocks go back instead.

When is golden hour in Edmonton?

The evening golden hour starts when the sun is about 6° above the horizon and runs until a little after sunset, when the light turns blue. In Edmonton that is roughly 60 to 100 minutes depending on the season; it lasts longer in winter at higher latitudes because the sun sets at a shallower angle. Civil dusk, when the sun is 6° below the horizon, marks the end of the blue hour.
