Plan the month or the year
After you calculate a day, the Open monthly calendar link carries Los Angeles and the date to the monthly calendar, where you can print the table or download it as CSV. For the whole of Los Angeles’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 Los Angeles all move the moment the Sun actually appears or disappears relative to the flat-horizon times shown here.
What makes Los Angeles’s daylight different
Los Angeles sits at 34.1° N, so its northern-hemisphere seasons give it a longest day of 14h 26m on 21 June and a shortest day of 9h 53m on 21 December in 2026. The earliest sunrise (05:42 AM on 4 June) and the latest sunset (08:08 PM on 23 June) do not fall on the solstice itself, because solar noon drifts against the clock through the year.
