Where the sun goes down

Around the June solstice the sun sets in Oslo at 323° (NW), around the December solstice at 217° (SW) — 106° apart. A façade that gets backlight at the end of a summer day is lit from the side in winter, and a street that frames the sunset in July may not see it at all in January.

The highest sun of the year stands at 54° at noon, the lowest at 7°. Below about 15° the light turns warm and the shadows long enough to shape a face; the day chart in the tool shows when the sun crosses that line on your date.

Clock changes

Europe/Oslo changes the clocks on 29 March and 25 October 2026. On those dates every time in the table jumps by an hour overnight — a schedule copied from the week before the change puts the exterior an hour into the dark (or an hour too early).
