About these times

Sunrise and sunset times for Napier are calculated from the city’s location and update automatically each day. Knowing the exact times helps with planning sunrise walks, photography, fishing, tramping and getting home before dark. The daylight bar and table above show today’s first light, sunrise, solar noon, sunset and last light, plus the times for the week ahead. All times are New Zealand local time for a flat horizon, so hills or tall buildings can delay sunrise or bring sunset a little earlier.

Sunrise, sunset and twilight times are calculated for Napier using standard astronomical formulae. Times are New Zealand local time for a flat, unobstructed horizon and are approximate. Sun and moon positions are worked out in your browser from the same location and are accurate to about a degree.
