Why Dhaka's Sunrise & Sunset Matters

Dhaka sits at 23.81°N latitude on the Buriganga River delta plain, just north of the Tropic of Cancer. Its day length swings moderately — from 10h 39m at the December solstice to 13h 36m in June — with summer sunsets reaching about 6:49 PM and the earliest winter sunsets near 5:17 PM. Bangladesh keeps a single time zone (UTC+6) with no daylight saving, so the rhythm shifts smoothly through the year.

The seasons bring very different skies. Winter mornings often start with dense fog that can hide the sun well after the official sunrise, while the monsoon months build huge afternoon cloud banks that frequently split at dusk into dramatic orange sunsets over the river. Sunset also sets the city's evening tempo — it marks Maghrib prayer and the end of the fasting day during Ramadan.

FAQ — Dhaka Sunrise & Sunset

What time is sunset in Dhaka during summer?

Around the June solstice, sunset in Dhaka is about 6:49 PM BST, the latest of the year, and sunsets stay after 6:30 PM from May through mid-July. Sunrise in midsummer is as early as about 5:13 AM.

Why is sunset important during Ramadan in Dhaka?

The daily fast ends at sunset (Maghrib), so the exact sunset time determines iftar. During Ramadan, millions of people in Dhaka check the sunset time daily — it shifts by a minute or so each day, and this page's live countdown tracks it precisely.

Where is the best sunset spot in Dhaka?

The Buriganga River at Sadarghat is the classic view — the sun drops over the water through the river traffic. Hatirjheel's lakeside promenade and the bridges around it are the most popular in-city spots for an open western horizon.

Why is sunrise sometimes invisible in Dhaka in winter?

From December to January, dense fog and heavy air pollution frequently cover Dhaka in the early morning. The sun may not become visible until an hour or more after the official sunrise time, even though the astronomical sunrise happens on schedule.

How short is the shortest day in Dhaka?

At the December solstice Dhaka gets about 10h 39m of daylight, with sunrise around 6:37 AM and sunset around 5:17 PM — a gentler winter than Europe or North America at the same season.
