The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Nouméa the sun comes up earliest on 29 November at 05:02, while the latest sunset waits until 16 January at 18:43.

The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Nouméa that civil twilight runs about 22 minutes at the equinox.
