It feels like just yesterday we were noting the shift in Boston sunset time and the start of the summer solstice, but October 15 marks the final 6 PM sunset of 2024. For those of us eagerly awaiting fall, this is one step closer to sweater weather but a reduction in vitamin D windows.
According to data from timeanddate.com, the next 6 PM sunset will be after March 8, 2025, and the next 8 PM sunset in Boston will be on May 16, 2025.
The June 20 summer solstice will bring Boston its longest day, with sunrise at 5:07 AM and an 8:24 PM sunset, meaning a lovely 15-hour day according to timeanddate.com. Boston’s iconic skyline is stunning year-round, but especially breathtaking at sunset. The earliest sunset of 2024 will be December 12 with a 4:11 PM sunset.
We love a good sunset picnic or dinner with a view like at Contessa or Lookout Rooftop. Our go to new heightsat View Boston and enjoy the immaculate sunsets! Make sure to grab a seat at some of our favorite Boston rooftops and remind yourself why you fell in love with the Spirit of America!
