What time is sunset in The Bronx today?

The sun sets in The Bronx at 18:35 (just after midnight) today, Thursday, 1 October 2026, in The Bronx's own local time. The warm light starts well before that: evening golden hour opens at 17:59, giving 36 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 27 minutes later at 19:03, and the sky is properly dark at 20:06, 1h 31m after sunset.

Tomorrow the sun sets at 18:35 in The Bronx. That is 1 minute 40 seconds earlier than today. Over the coming week sunset moves 11 minutes 27 seconds earlier.

Is the day getting longer or shorter in The Bronx right now?

The Bronx gets 11h 45m of daylight today, from sunrise to sunset. Tomorrow will be 2 minutes 41 seconds shorter. Over the next seven days The Bronx loses 18 minutes 43 seconds of daylight.

That pace is not constant. In The Bronx the day length changes fastest around March, near the equinox, when it moves by about 2 minutes 44 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 The Bronx?

The earliest sunset of 2026 in The Bronx falls on 7 December at 16:27, 14 days before the December solstice, and the latest on 27 June at 20:31.

Sunrise runs on its own schedule: earliest on 14 June at 05:23, latest on 31 October at 07:24, the last morning before the clocks go back. One of these dates is pinned by the clocks rather than by the sky: a daylight saving change in The Bronx 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.

These are wall-clock times, so The Bronx'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 The Bronx?

First light in The Bronx arrives 27 minutes before sunrise today, at 06:25. After sunset the light hangs on for another 27 minutes, until 19:03. That evening stretch is not the same all year in The Bronx: it runs from 27 minutes at its shortest, in September, to 34 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 The Bronx?

At midday on the June solstice the sun stands 72.6 degrees above the horizon in The Bronx. On the December solstice it climbs only 25.7 degrees. A midday sun that low throws a shadow about 2.1 times the height of whatever casts it, so even at noon in midwinter the shadows in The Bronx are long ones.
