The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 12h 31m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 11h 44m. The swing between them is 47 minutes. Within a few degrees of the equator the length of the day barely moves all year.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Georgetown the sun comes up earliest on 26 May at 05:35, while the latest sunset waits until 18 July at 18:13. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Georgetown that civil twilight runs about 21 minutes at the equinox.
