Singapore sunrise and sunset times (1.35°N, 103.82°E)
One degree north of the equator, Singapore barely notices the seasons: sunrise hovers around 07:00, sunset around 19:10, and day length stays within a few minutes of twelve hours all year. The real variation is where the sun sets — it swings from almost due west in March to north of west in June and December, which is exactly what Marina Bay skyline shooters plan around.
Golden hour in Singapore is short and fierce: the sun dives through the −4° to +6° band quickly because it sets nearly vertically. Expect roughly 25–35 usable minutes, and read equator vs high-latitude light for why the tropics play by different rules.
How to read these tables
- Sunrise / sunset are the moments the sun’s upper edge crosses a sea-level horizon (includes standard refraction, exactly like official almanacs).
- Golden hour = sun centre between −4° and +6° elevation; blue hour = −6° to −4°. These bands are conventions, not physical constants — definitions vary.
- Singapore does not observe daylight saving time — all times are SGT (UTC+8) year-round.
