Why Portland's Sunrise & Sunset Matters

Portland, Oregon sits at 45.52°N latitude — further north than Toronto or Montreal — near the western edge of the Pacific Time Zone, and that combination makes its sun cycle dramatic. Day length stretches to 15h 41m at the June solstice, when the sun sets at 9:04 PM, then collapses to just 8h 41m by December, when it sets at 4:31 PM: a swing of exactly seven hours between the longest and shortest days of the year.

Those long summer evenings are when Portland lives outdoors — food carts, river beaches and viewpoint parks all time themselves to a sunset after 9 PM and twilight that lingers towards 10 PM. Winter is the trade: weeks of Pacific cloud can hide the sun for days at a time, so a clear December sunset over the West Hills, with Mount Hood turning pink in the east at the same moment, is a genuine event worth planning around.

FAQ — Portland Sunrise & Sunset

What time will it get dark in Portland, Oregon?

In mid-November, Portland, Oregon gets dark early: civil twilight ends at about 5:17 PM, around 32 minutes after the 4:45 PM sunset, and the sky is fully dark by about 6:27 PM. By the December solstice sunset is earlier still, at about 4:31 PM, so the evening is dark before 5 PM.

What is the longest day in Oregon?

The longest day in Oregon falls at the June solstice, around June 21. In Portland it brings about 15 hours 41 minutes of daylight, with sunrise near 5:23 AM and sunset near 9:04 PM — and civil twilight lingering until about 9:42 PM, so the sky stays light late into the evening.

What is 30 minutes before sunset called?

It has no separate name — it is part of the golden hour, the roughly hour-long stretch of warm, low light before sunset. In Portland that half-hour is prized on clear evenings, when the downtown bridges and Mount Hood catch pink and gold light at the same time. After sunset, the blue hour follows.

Where are the best sunset spots in Portland?

Pittock Mansion's terrace is the classic Portland sunset view, with the skyline in front and Mount Hood behind it. Council Crest, the Mount Tabor reservoirs, Cathedral Park under the St. Johns Bridge and Tom McCall Waterfront Park along the Willamette River are other favourites. On clear winter evenings the sky often colours up beautifully after the early sunset.

How do Portland sunset times change through the year?

Dramatically — Portland's sunset swings from about 4:31 PM at the December solstice to 9:04 PM at the June solstice, a range of more than four and a half hours. The monthly table on this page tracks the change day by day; in November alone sunset slides from 4:59 PM on the 1st to 4:31 PM on the 30th.
