Calamba gets 12h 0m of daylight today, from sunrise to sunset. Tomorrow will be 47 seconds shorter. Over the next seven days Calamba loses 5 minutes 26 seconds of daylight.
That pace is not constant. In Calamba the day length changes fastest around March, near the equinox, when it moves by about 48 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 Calamba?
The earliest sunset of 2026 in Calamba falls on 20 November at 17:23, 31 days before the December solstice, and the latest on 9 July at 18:28.
Sunrise runs on its own schedule: earliest on 2 June at 05:25, latest on 22 January at 06:23, 32 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 | 2 Jun 2026 | 05:25 | 19 days before the June solstice |
| Latest sunrise | 22 Jan 2026 | 06:23 | 32 days after the December solstice |
| Earliest sunset | 20 Nov 2026 | 17:23 | 31 days before the December solstice |
| Latest sunset | 9 Jul 2026 | 18:28 | 18 days after the June solstice |
How long does twilight last in Calamba?
First light in Calamba arrives 21 minutes before sunrise today, at 05:23. After sunset the light hangs on for another 21 minutes, until 18:05. That evening stretch is not the same all year in Calamba: it runs from 21 minutes at its shortest, in September, to 24 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.
How high does the sun get in Calamba?
At midday on the June solstice the sun stands 80.8 degrees above the horizon in Calamba. On the December solstice it climbs only 52.4 degrees.

Twice a year, on 28 April and 14 August, the midday sun over Calamba comes within half a degree of straight overhead, reaching 89.93 degrees at its highest. On those days an upright post casts almost no shadow at solar noon, which is why they are sometimes called zero shadow days. It can only happen between the tropics, where the sun passes directly over a place at all.
