Golden hour in Turin in January

Turin lies at 45.07° N, in the upper mid-latitudes, with long, slanted evening light in summer. Its longest measured day falls on Fri 19 June 2026 with 15h 38m of daylight, and its shortest on Mon 21 December 2026 with 8h 45m — a difference of 6h 53m between the two extremes.

Evening golden hour in Turin runs for roughly 45 minutes at the height of summer, 39 minutes around the March equinox and 49 minutes at midwinter. The warm window is actually widest in the colder months, which makes winter evenings unusually forgiving here.

The sun sets toward 305° NW in late June and toward 237° WSW in late December, a shift of about 69° in where the last light lands — worth checking before committing to a west-facing viewpoint. In Turin, the sky reaches full darkness between evening and morning twilight year-round.
