Where on the horizon?

Sunrise and sunset compass bearings for Tromsø — face these degrees, not “due east” or “due west.”

N E S W
Sunrise Sunset
Sunrise azimuth 42° NE Face NE at dawn
Sunset azimuth 318° NW Face NW at dusk

Azimuth is degrees clockwise from true north (0°). Today the disk clears the horizon at 42° NE and drops at 318° NW. Use that heading to pick a rail, pier, or hill that actually sees the Sun — then jump to where to stand.

Solar facts

  • 1Midnight sun typically lasts from mid-May to late July; polar night from late November to mid-January.
  • 2Even in polar night, civil twilight can paint a blue midday sky over the fjord.
  • 3Fjellheisen and the Arctic Cathedral are classic viewpoints when the disk does rise.

Daylight Saving Time

Tromsø observes Daylight Saving Time. On spring-forward and fall-back weekends, sunrise and sunset jump one hour on the clock even though the Sun has barely moved. Recheck this page after those weekends rather than last week’s memory.

East–west spread

Across Norway on this site, the Sun rises first in Tromsø (03:44 AM, 18.9553°) and last in Longyearbyen (N/A, 15.6267°). That east–west spread is about 0m. They sit in different time zones, so the true solar delay is about 0m even when local clock times look closer. Tromsø sits at 18.9553°.

Tromsø sits well above the Arctic Circle. For weeks around the June solstice the Sun does not set; around the December solstice it does not rise. Official tables switch to Polar Day and Polar Night instead of clock-time sunrise.
