## Caption

The summer solstice may be behind us, but the latest sunset of the year is still ahead in many cities. 🌇 When is the latest sunset in your area?

Across most of the contiguous United States, the latest sunset of the year happens after the solstice, usually in late June or early July.

The reason is related to the Earth’s tilt and the way it moves around the sun. The small but important variables create the mismatch between the clock and the sun’s actual position in the sky.

As a result, the earliest sunrises and the latest sunsets of the year don’t align with the solstice, with the date of each varying from city to city based on their latitude and where they are located within their time zone.

Seattle, Minneapolis and Salt Lake City are among the places where the sunset does not happen until after 9 p.m., with the latest sunsets happening in these cities between June 25-27. Farther south, the sun dips below the horizon slightly earlier in the day, including 8:26 p.m. in Houston on June 30, and 8:16 p.m. in Miami on July 1.
