Plan the month or the year
After you calculate a day, the Open monthly calendar link carries Phoenix and the date to the monthly calendar, where you can print the table or download it as CSV. For the whole of Phoenix’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 Phoenix all move the moment the Sun actually appears or disappears relative to the flat-horizon times shown here.
What makes Phoenix’s daylight different
Phoenix sits at 33.4° N, so its northern-hemisphere seasons give it a longest day of 14h 22m on 21 June and a shortest day of 9h 56m on 21 December in 2026. The earliest sunrise (05:18 AM on 11 June) and the latest sunset (07:42 PM on 26 June) do not fall on the solstice itself, because solar noon drifts against the clock through the year.
