Golden hour in Hobart in November

Hobart lies at 42.88° S, in the mid-latitudes, where the seasons reshape the light noticeably. Its longest measured day falls on Fri 18 December 2026 with 15h 21m of daylight, and its shortest on Thu 18 June 2026 with 9h 01m — a difference of 6h 20m between the two extremes.

Evening golden hour in Hobart runs for roughly 43 minutes at the height of summer, 37 minutes around the March equinox and 46 minutes at midwinter. The warm window is actually widest in the colder months, which makes winter evenings unusually forgiving here.

The sun sets toward 302° WNW in late June and toward 236° SW in late December, a shift of about 66° in where the last light lands — worth checking before committing to a west-facing viewpoint. In Hobart, the sky reaches full darkness between evening and morning twilight year-round.
