The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 13h 18m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 10h 58m. The swing between them is 2h 20m. Inside the tropics the day length stays within a narrow band all year.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In George Town the sun comes up earliest on 6 June at 05:46, while the latest sunset waits until 7 July at 19:08.
