Sunrise and Sunset Times in Minnesota

Sunrise and Sunset in Minnesota

The 43 Minnesota cities listed here span 3.2° of latitude, from Austin in the south (43.7°N) to Moorhead in the north (46.9°N). On the June solstice that puts about 15h 53m of daylight over Moorhead against 15h 27m over Austin — a 26m difference inside one state. In December the gap reverses, and the southern cities are the ones holding more light.

The median Minnesota city swings 6h 50m between the solstices against a national median of 5h 16m, so seasons here move the clock 1h 33m more than they do in a typical American city.

Seasons bite hardest in Moorhead, where daylight swings 7h 21m between the solstices, and least in Austin at 6h 31m. The table above lists both figures for every city, so you can see where any town falls between those two extremes.

Minnesota sits entirely in Central Time. Longitude decides how a city's clock lines up with its Sun: Moorhead sits furthest west inside its zone, which puts mean solar noon about 27 minutes after clock noon and gives it the state's latest-running evenings for its longitude.

Each city page carries that city's full profile: today's sunrise and sunset on a live tracker, a twelve-month table of times, the dates of the year's earliest and latest sunsets, the Sun's midday height by season, a golden-hour calendar, clear-sky solar-energy figures, and where the city ranks against the rest of the country.
