Length of the evening golden-hour window.

Port Moresby lies at 9.44° S, in the equatorial belt, where day length barely moves across the year. Its longest measured day falls on Fri 18 December 2026 with 12h 41m of daylight, and its shortest on Thu 18 June 2026 with 11h 34m — a difference of 1h 07m between the two extremes.

Evening golden hour in Port Moresby runs for roughly 30 minutes at the height of summer, 28 minutes around the March equinox and 30 minutes at midwinter. The warm window is at its most generous in summer, so summer shoots allow more time to work a location.

The sun sets toward 294° WNW in late June and toward 246° WSW in late December, a shift of about 48° in where the last light lands — worth checking before committing to a west-facing viewpoint. In Port Moresby, the sky reaches full darkness between evening and morning twilight year-round.
