Is the day getting longer or shorter in Singapore right now?
Singapore gets 12h 6m of daylight today, from sunrise to sunset. Tomorrow will be 4 seconds shorter. Across the whole coming week the day changes by less than a minute, which is what a standstill looks like.
When are the earliest and latest sunrise and sunset in Singapore?
The earliest sunset of 2026 in Singapore falls on 4 November at 18:50, 47 days before the December solstice, and the latest on 13 February at 19:21.
Sunrise runs on its own schedule: earliest on 1 November at 06:46, latest on 9 February at 07:16, 50 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 | 1 Nov 2026 | 06:46 | 50 days before the December solstice |
| Latest sunrise | 9 Feb 2026 | 07:16 | 50 days after the December solstice |
| Earliest sunset | 4 Nov 2026 | 18:50 | 47 days before the December solstice |
| Latest sunset | 13 Feb 2026 | 19:21 | 54 days after the December solstice |

Because Singapore lies in the northern hemisphere, its days are longest around June and shortest around December.

As Earth orbits the Sun, the point on the horizon where the Sun rises and sets moves, which lengthens or shortens the day and shifts sunrise and sunset times.
Are the times for Singapore accurate?
Yes. Times are computed with the well established SunCalc astronomy library using the coordinates of Singapore and shown in its local time zone. They are accurate to about a minute for a clear, flat horizon. Hills, tall buildings and atmospheric conditions can shift the moment you actually see the Sun by a few minutes.

Almost none at the moment. Singapore has 12h 6m of daylight on Friday, 2 October 2026, and over the following seven days the day length changes by less than a minute in total. That standstill happens around each solstice, before the day turns back the other way.
When is the earliest sunset in Singapore?
The earliest sunset of 2026 in Singapore is on 4 November at 18:50, 47 days before the December solstice. The earliest sunset and the shortest day are not the same date, because the sun runs a few minutes fast or slow against clock time through the year, an effect called the equation of time.
