Light through 2026 in Stockholm

December is the generous sample in Stockholm — 2 hr 25 min of golden light — while March tightens the window to about 1 hr 19 min. The 101° seasonal walk of the sunset point (222° SW in December, 323° NW in June) matters more than the clock time for framing. June days run 18 hr 34 min; by December they shrink to 6 hr 9 min.

Find the months when sunset faces your spot

Pick the direction your subject faces the sky. Months whose sunset lands within ±10° light up in the table above. Disabled shortcuts have no matching row in this visible mid-month sample.

Each row samples the 15th of the month at these coordinates, so dates near a month boundary can differ from the printed row — around here day length moves up to ~6 min per day in the fastest season. Clock times follow Europe · Stockholm, including any daylight-saving change.

Moon and candidate vantage points

Context to verify

Moon on the selected date

The moon over Stockholm is a Full Moon, 99% lit. Treat this as lighting context, not a visibility forecast.

Candidate vantage points

The list supplies map-search starting points, not ranked recommendations. Confirm access, closures, permits, safety, and horizon obstructions yourself before setting out. For the selected date, the mathematical sunset bearing is 248° WSW. If the composition faces differently, use the bearing planner in the month table above to identify sampled months; the result remains a planning aid and does not prove visibility.

Plan and calculation notes

Assumptions and limits

Plan this specific light

In Stockholm, the evening golden hour window runs 1 hr 28 min on the selected date and approaches from 248° WSW. Arrive 15 minutes before its start when that window occurs, then choose a position with an open view toward that bearing. Don't rely on the generic “one hour before sunset” rule here — the real window shifts with the season, so check the computed times for your date.

See the calculation method and limits before relying on the estimate in terrain-sensitive or safety-critical conditions.

Common questions

Golden hour FAQ for Stockholm

When is golden hour in Stockholm?
Stockholm has no fixed golden-hour clock time. The usable band begins at +6° and continues through −4°, enclosing sunrise in the morning and sunset in the evening; its representative monthly duration is 79 minutes in March and 145 minutes in December. Use the date control above for the exact boundaries of the day you will shoot.
Which direction does the sun set in Stockholm?
In Stockholm it depends on the month: 222° SW in December, moving to 323° NW by June — a 101° annual swing. Use the sun-path panel above to read the exact bearing for your shoot date.
How much does day length change in Stockholm?
In Stockholm, between 6 hr 9 min (December) and 18 hr 34 min (June). The month-by-month table above lists every month.
Does Stockholm get blue hour right after golden hour?
Yes — they are adjacent bands of the same descent: golden hour spans +6° to −4° of solar altitude and blue hour continues from −4° to −6°. In Stockholm, the representative December golden window lasts 2 hr 25 min; on ordinary dates evening blue begins when its evening side ends, while polar dates can merge or wrap overnight. The light-windows panel above computes both for any date.
