Local time in Kyiv (Europe/Kyiv), daylight saving time included, rounded to the minute, for an open horizon at sea level.

Earliest sunset, latest sunrise

The shortest day in Kyiv is December 21, but the earliest sunset comes on December 12, at 3:54 PM, and the latest sunrise on December 31, at 7:59 AM. This shift comes from the equation of time: around the solstices, solar noon drifts by up to half a minute a day on the clock, so sunrise and sunset do not move symmetrically.

Solar noon and time zone

Kyiv lies at 50.45° north and 30.52° east. Its standard time, UTC+2, is set on the 30° east meridian, almost exactly Kyiv’s own longitude, so solar noon stays close to 12:00 in standard time. Over the year, solar noon falls between 11:41 AM (November 3) and 1:04 PM (July 25) on the clock, daylight saving time included.

Daylight saving time

Kyiv changes its clocks. In 2026, they spring forward one hour on Sunday, March 29 (UTC+2 to UTC+3) and fall back on Sunday, October 25. On the clock, sunset jumps from 6:24 PM the day before to 7:25 PM on the day of the change. The sun itself does not move: only the clock does.

Height of the sun and twilight

At solar noon the sun climbs to 63.0° above the horizon on June 21, and only 16.1° on December 21. Civil twilight, from first light to sunrise, lasts about 32 minutes at the March equinox and 46 minutes in late June. The day length changes fastest around March 18: 3 min 50 s more each day.

From May 28 to July 14 (48 nights), the sun never sinks 18° below the horizon: the sky never gets fully dark, even at midnight.
