In Warsaw, the longest day is the June solstice (16h 47m of daylight) and the shortest is the December solstice (7h 42m).
Solar noon in Warsaw is around 12:37 PM near the June solstice and 11:33 AM near the December solstice — rarely exactly 12:00, because the city sits away from the exact centre of its timezone, daylight saving time shifts the clock where observed, and the equation of time moves the Sun's transit by up to 16 minutes.
Sunrise and sunset across 2026, in local standard time
The shaded band is daylight; the upper edge is sunrise and the lower edge is sunset. Plotted in standard time, so the daylight-saving shift is shown as dates above rather than a jump in the curve.
These sunrise, sunset, and solar-noon times for Warsaw are computed with the NOAA solar position algorithm from the city's latitude (52.2297°) and longitude (21.0122°), then converted to local time in the Europe/Warsaw timezone. Today's figures update automatically in your browser; the year-round table is a fixed reference so the page stays fast and consistent.
Solar noon is the moment the Sun crosses Warsaw's meridian and reaches its highest point in the sky — not necessarily 12:00 on the clock. The offset comes from the city's position within its timezone plus the equation of time, a correction for Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt that can move solar noon up to 16 minutes either side of clock noon. The max sun altitude is how high the Sun climbs at that moment.
The direction of sunrise and sunset swings north and south through the year: near the June solstice the Sun rises in the north-east and sets in the north-west; near the December solstice it rises and sets well to the south. Day length changes because of Earth's 23.5° axial tilt — around the June solstice the Northern Hemisphere tilts toward the Sun for its longest days; around the December solstice it tilts away for its shortest. At the equinoxes day and night are close to equal everywhere.
What time is solar noon in Warsaw?
Solar noon in Warsaw — when the Sun is at its highest point — is around 12:37 PM local time near the June solstice and around 11:33 AM near the December solstice. It is rarely exactly 12:00 because of Warsaw's longitude within its timezone, daylight saving time where observed, and the equation of time, which shifts the Sun's transit by up to 16 minutes over the year.
