Barnaul gets 11h 32m of daylight today, from sunrise to sunset. Tomorrow will be 4 minutes 11 seconds shorter. Over the next seven days Barnaul loses 29 minutes 11 seconds of daylight.
That pace is not constant. In Barnaul the day length changes fastest around March, near the equinox, when it moves by about 4 minutes 15 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 Barnaul?
The earliest sunset of 2026 in Barnaul falls on 13 December at 17:06, 8 days before the December solstice, and the latest on 25 June at 21:57.
Sunrise runs on its own schedule: earliest on 18 June at 04:56, latest on 30 December at 09:40, 9 days after the December solstice. The four dates in the table below do not line up with the solstices, and they are not supposed to. 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 | 18 Jun 2026 | 04:56 | 3 days before the June solstice |
| Latest sunrise | 30 Dec 2026 | 09:40 | 9 days after the December solstice |
| Earliest sunset | 13 Dec 2026 | 17:06 | 8 days before the December solstice |
| Latest sunset | 25 Jun 2026 | 21:57 | 4 days after the June solstice |
How long does twilight last in Barnaul?
First light in Barnaul arrives 35 minutes before sunrise today, at 06:53. After sunset the light hangs on for another 35 minutes, until 19:34. That evening stretch is not the same all year in Barnaul: it runs from 35 minutes at its shortest, in September, to 53 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.
For 77 nights of 2026, the longest stretch running from 14 May to 29 July, the sky over Barnaul never gets fully dark. The sun stays within 18 degrees of the horizon all night, so astronomical twilight lasts straight through to dawn and the faintest stars never come out.
How high does the sun get in Barnaul?
At midday on the June solstice the sun stands 60.1 degrees above the horizon in Barnaul. On the December solstice it climbs only 13.3 degrees. A midday sun that low throws a shadow about 4.2 times the height of whatever casts it, so even at noon in midwinter the shadows in Barnaul are long ones.
