Sunrise and Sunset in Mississippi

The 16 Mississippi cities listed here span 4.5° of latitude, from Gulfport in the south (30.4°N) to Olive Branch in the north (35.0°N). On the June solstice that puts about 14h 31m of daylight over Olive Branch against 14h 7m over Gulfport — a 24m difference inside one state. In December the gap reverses, and the southern cities are the ones holding more light.

The median Mississippi city swings 4h 16m between the solstices against a national median of 5h 16m, so Mississippi has a 1h 1m gentler year of daylight than a typical American city.

Seasons bite hardest in Olive Branch, where daylight swings 4h 42m between the solstices, and least in Gulfport at 3h 56m. The table above lists both figures for every city, so you can see where any town falls between those two extremes.

Mississippi sits entirely in Central Time. Longitude decides how a city's clock lines up with its Sun: Greenville sits furthest west inside its zone, which puts mean solar noon about 4 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.
