The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 15h 55m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 8h 30m. The swing between them is 7h 25m. This is the latitude band where the difference between summer and winter evenings is most obvious.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Atyrau the sun comes up earliest on 17 June at 05:36, while the latest sunset waits until 27 June at 21:32.
