What time is sunset in Jammu today?
The sun sets in Jammu at 18:14 today, Friday, 2 October 2026, in Jammu's own local time. The warm light starts well before that: evening golden hour opens at 17:41, giving 33 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 25 minutes later at 18:38, and the sky is properly dark at 19:36, 1h 22m after sunset.
Tomorrow the sun sets at 18:13 in Jammu. That is 1 minute 19 seconds earlier than today. Over the coming week sunset moves 9 minutes 1 second earlier.
Is the day getting longer or shorter in Jammu right now?
Jammu gets 11h 49m of daylight today, from sunrise to sunset. Tomorrow will be 1 minute 59 seconds shorter. Over the next seven days Jammu loses 13 minutes 53 seconds of daylight.
That pace is not constant. In Jammu the day length changes fastest around March, near the equinox, when it moves by about 2 minutes 2 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 Jammu?
The earliest sunset of 2026 in Jammu falls on 4 December at 17:24, 17 days before the December solstice, and the latest on 29 June at 19:42.
Sunrise runs on its own schedule: earliest on 11 June at 05:22, latest on 8 January at 07:33, 18 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 | 11 Jun 2026 | 05:22 | 10 days before the June solstice |
| Latest sunrise | 8 Jan 2026 | 07:33 | 18 days after the December solstice |
| Earliest sunset | 4 Dec 2026 | 17:24 | 17 days before the December solstice |
| Latest sunset | 29 Jun 2026 | 19:42 | 8 days after the June solstice |

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.
