It feels like just yesterday we were noting the shift in Boston sunset time and the beginning of summer. Tomorrow, Halloween, marks the final sunset of the year past 5 PM. This means shorter days ahead and a reduction of vitamin D windows.
According to data from timeanddate.com, the next sunset after 5 PM won’t be until February 2027.
The December 21 summer solstice will bring Boston its shortest day, with sunrise just after 7 AM and a 4 PM sunset, meaning condensed daytime according to timeanddate.com. Boston’s iconic skyline is stunning year-round, but especially breathtaking at sunset, even when earlier in the day.
