What time is sunset in Al Mansurah today?

The warm light starts well before that: evening golden hour opens at 18:06, giving 32 minutes of low golden light before the sun reaches the horizon. Sunset is not the end of the light either. Last light, the moment usable daylight ends at civil dusk, follows 24 minutes later at 19:02, and the sky is properly dark at 19:58, 1h 20m after sunset.
Tomorrow the sun sets at 18:37 in Al Mansurah. That is 1 minute 15 seconds earlier than today. Over the coming week sunset moves 8 minutes 34 seconds earlier.
Is the day getting longer or shorter in Al Mansurah right now?
Al Mansurah gets 11h 50m of daylight today, from sunrise to sunset. Tomorrow will be 1 minute 52 seconds shorter. Over the next seven days Al Mansurah loses 12 minutes 59 seconds of daylight.
That pace is not constant. In Al Mansurah the day length changes fastest around March, near the equinox, when it moves by about 1 minute 54 seconds per day, and it slows almost to a stop at the solstices in June and December. The word solstice means exactly that: the sun standing still.
When are the earliest and latest sunrise and sunset in Al Mansurah?
The earliest sunset of 2026 in Al Mansurah falls on 3 December at 16:51, 18 days before the December solstice, and the latest on 30 June at 20:02.
Sunrise runs on its own schedule: earliest on 23 April at 05:18, latest on 29 October at 07:07, the last morning before the clocks go back. Two of these dates are pinned by the clocks rather than by the sky: a daylight saving change in Al Mansurah moves sunrise and sunset by a whole hour overnight, so the earliest and latest times on the clock land on either side of it. The rest is astronomy. Earth's orbit is slightly elliptical and its axis is tilted, so the sun runs a few minutes fast or slow against clock time through the year. That offset, the equation of time, is what pushes the earliest sunset ahead of the shortest day and the latest sunrise behind it.
| Extreme | Date | Local time | Why then |
|---|---|---|---|
| Earliest sunrise | 23 Apr 2026 | 05:18 | the last morning before the clocks go forward |
| Latest sunrise | 29 Oct 2026 | 07:07 | the last morning before the clocks go back |
| Earliest sunset | 3 Dec 2026 | 16:51 | 18 days before the December solstice |
| Latest sunset | 30 Jun 2026 | 20:02 | 9 days after the June solstice |
These are wall-clock times, so Al Mansurah's daylight saving change is part of the picture: an hour moved by the clocks counts the same as an hour moved by the Earth.
How long does twilight last in Al Mansurah?
First light in Al Mansurah arrives 24 minutes before sunrise today, at 06:24. After sunset the light hangs on for another 24 minutes, until 19:02. That evening stretch is not the same all year in Al Mansurah: it runs from 24 minutes at its shortest, in September, to 28 minutes at its longest, in June. The lower the angle at which the sun crosses the horizon, the longer twilight lasts, which is why dusk is a slow affair at high latitudes and abrupt near the equator.
