Golden hour in Karachi in December

Karachi lies at 24.86° N, in the subtropics, with short, decisive twilights. Its longest measured day falls on Thu 18 June 2026 with 13h 41m of daylight, and its shortest on Fri 18 December 2026 with 10h 36m — a difference of 3h 05m between the two extremes.

Evening golden hour in Karachi runs for roughly 33 minutes at the height of summer, 30 minutes around the March equinox and 34 minutes at midwinter. The warm window is actually widest in the colder months, which makes winter evenings unusually forgiving here.

The sun sets toward 296° WNW in late June and toward 244° WSW in late December, a shift of about 52° in where the last light lands — worth checking before committing to a west-facing viewpoint. In Karachi, the sky reaches full darkness between evening and morning twilight year-round.
