Sunrise and sunset in Barbados

Sunrise today: 5:46 h
Sunset today: 17:50 h
(Times for Bridgetown)

Sunrise and sunset in Barbados do not differ significantly throughout the year. The reason for this is the proximity to the equator. Thus, the sun swings north in the middle of the year and south at the turn of the year, without moving too far away. In countries like Canada or Norway, however, the difference is much more extreme.

With up to approximately 13 hours the longest days happen to be in June. In December a night in Bridgetown lasts almost 13 hours.

In these days the sun in Bridgetown rises at 5:46. The early sunset at 17:50 makes the day currently a bit too short.

Duration of the sunset

The distance from the equator and the path of the sun determines not only the time of sunrise and sunset. The farther a country is from the equator, the more oblique the sun's path is to the horizon. And this causes a different duration that a sunset takes. Bridgetown lies on the 13th degree of northern latitude and thus a good distance from the equator.While a sunset in the northern USA or central Europe can take almost an hour, in Barbados it only lasts an average of 25 minutes. In June, it's about 25 minutes in Bridgetown, while in December it's 24 minutes.
