Plan the month or the year
After you calculate a day, the Open monthly calendar link carries Apia and the date to the monthly calendar, where you can print the table or download it as CSV. For the whole of Apia’s year at a glance, including its longest and shortest day, use the annual sunrise and sunset table.
Check the context
The visible horizon and weather affect what you see. Tall buildings, hills and a high floor around Apia all move the moment the Sun actually appears or disappears relative to the flat-horizon times shown here.
What makes Apia’s daylight different
Apia sits at 13.9° S, so its southern-hemisphere seasons give it a longest day of 12h 57m on 22 December and a shortest day of 11h 19m on 21 June in 2026. The earliest sunrise (05:49 AM on 16 November) and the latest sunset (07:02 PM on 16 January) do not fall on the solstice itself, because solar noon drifts against the clock through the year. December brings the long days here and June the short ones, the reverse of Europe and North America.
