What time is sunset in Vladivostok today?
The sun sets in Vladivostok at 18:52 today, Friday, 2 October 2026, in Vladivostok's own local time. The warm light starts well before that: evening golden hour opens at 18:15, giving 38 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 28 minutes later at 19:21, and the sky is properly dark at 20:27, 1h 34m after sunset.
Tomorrow the sun sets at 18:51 in Vladivostok. That is 1 minute 46 seconds earlier than today. Over the coming week sunset moves 12 minutes 12 seconds earlier.
Is the day getting longer or shorter in Vladivostok right now?
Vladivostok gets 11h 42m of daylight today, from sunrise to sunset. Tomorrow will be 2 minutes 54 seconds shorter. Over the next seven days Vladivostok loses 20 minutes 15 seconds of daylight.
That pace is not constant. In Vladivostok the day length changes fastest around March, near the equinox, when it moves by about 2 minutes 58 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 Vladivostok?
The earliest sunset of 2026 in Vladivostok falls on 9 December at 17:37, 12 days before the December solstice, and the latest on 27 June at 20:56.
Sunrise runs on its own schedule: earliest on 15 June at 05:32, latest on 3 January at 08:44, 13 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 | 15 Jun 2026 | 05:32 | 6 days before the June solstice |
| Latest sunrise | 3 Jan 2026 | 08:44 | 13 days after the December solstice |
| Earliest sunset | 9 Dec 2026 | 17:37 | 12 days before the December solstice |
| Latest sunset | 27 Jun 2026 | 20:56 | 6 days after the June solstice |
How long does twilight last in Vladivostok?

That evening stretch is not the same all year in Vladivostok: it runs from 28 minutes at its shortest, in September, to 36 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 Vladivostok?
At midday on the June solstice the sun stands 70.3 degrees above the horizon in Vladivostok. On the December solstice it climbs only 23.5 degrees. A midday sun that low throws a shadow about 2.3 times the height of whatever casts it, so even at noon in midwinter the shadows in Vladivostok are long ones.

Are the times for Vladivostok accurate?
Yes. Times are computed with the well established SunCalc astronomy library using the coordinates of Vladivostok 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.
