DENVER — Now that the Summer Solstice has passed, the Centennial State will continue to lose precious minutes of sunlight each day until the Winter Solstice in December.
The 7 p.m. sunset on Thursday, Sept. 19, will be the last 7 p.m.-or-later sunset in Denver until Sunday, March 9, 2025.
This year, Denver sunsets will remain in the 6 p.m. hour until Tuesday, Oct. 29, when the sun will set at 6 p.m.
The autumnal equinox will be at 6:44 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 22. After the autumnal equinox, the sun continues rising later in the morning with nightfall arriving sooner.
In December, sunset times in Denver range between 4:35 p.m. and 4:45 p.m.
