Weed golden hour & blue hour by season
Golden hour is the warm, low-sun light; blue hour is the cooler twilight that brackets it. These windows come from Weed’s true solar geometry — the sun’s altitude, not a fixed hour — so they stretch toward the solstices and run longer than the rule-of-thumb hour.
| Season | Morning gold | Morning blue | Evening gold | Evening blue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring equinox | 7:07 AM–7:39 AM | 6:42 AM–7:07 AM | 6:42 PM–7:14 PM | 7:14 PM–7:39 PM |
| Summer solstice | 5:55 AM–6:32 AM | 5:27 AM–5:55 AM | 7:38 PM–8:14 PM | 8:14 PM–8:43 PM |
| Fall equinox | 6:51 AM–7:24 AM | 6:26 AM–6:51 AM | 6:28 PM–7:00 PM | 7:00 PM–7:25 PM |
| Winter solstice | 7:01 AM–7:39 AM | 6:34 AM–7:01 AM | 4:23 PM–5:01 PM | 5:01 PM–5:28 PM |
Daylight saving time in Weed
Weed springs its clocks forward on Sunday, March 8, 2026 and falls back on Sunday, November 1, 2026. Between those dates the local clock runs an hour later, so sunrise and sunset both read later — though the amount of daylight is unchanged; only the label on the clock moves.
| Clock change | Date | UTC offset |
|---|---|---|
| Spring forward | Sunday, March 8, 2026 | UTC−6 |
| Fall back | Sunday, November 1, 2026 | UTC−7 |
Why sunset time shifts in Weed
Sunset drifts through the year with Earth’s ~23.4° axial tilt — see the full daylight explainer.
In Weed, the longest day carries about 14h 19m of daylight and the shortest just 9h 59m — a swing of roughly 4h 20m between the June and December solstices. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider that gap; the pace also isn’t steady, moving fastest near the equinoxes and barely at all near the solstices. Every figure here is computed from the sun’s position for Weed’s exact coordinates, in local time.
Golden-hour gear
- Manfrotto Befree Advanced Travel Tripod
A compact carbon-light travel tripod that folds to packbag size. Golden- and blue-hour light is dim enough that handheld shots blur — a tripod is the single biggest upgrade to sunset photos.
- K&F Concept Graduated ND & ND Filter Kit
Graduated neutral-density filters darken a bright sky without underexposing the foreground — the classic fix for a blown-out sunset horizon over a dark landscape.
- MagicFiber Microfiber Lens Cleaning Cloths (6-Pack)
Sea spray, dew, and fingerprints scatter low-angle sunset light into ugly flare. A clean front element is free image quality — keep a cloth in the bag.
- Nikon Aculon A211 10x42 Compact Binoculars
Bright 10x42 optics for watching the sun touch a far ridgeline or horizon, and for the planets and first stars that emerge through the blue hour.
- Philips SmartSleep Wake-Up Light Sunrise Alarm
A sunrise-simulating alarm that brightens gradually before your set time — useful for catching an early sunrise shoot, and for resetting your clock as daylight shifts through the year.
