Sunrise and Sunset in New Mexico

The 11 New Mexico cities listed here span 4.4° of latitude, from Las Cruces in the south (32.3°N) to Farmington in the north (36.8°N). On the June solstice that puts about 14h 41m of daylight over Farmington against 14h 16m over Las Cruces — a 24m difference inside one state. In December the gap reverses, and the southern cities are the ones holding more light.

The median New Mexico city swings 4h 37m between the solstices against a national median of 5h 16m, so New Mexico has a 40m gentler year of daylight than a typical American city.

Seasons bite hardest in Farmington, where daylight swings 5h 2m between the solstices, and least in Las Cruces at 4h 15m. The table above lists both figures for every city, so you can see where any town falls between those two extremes.

New Mexico sits entirely in Mountain Time. Longitude decides how a city's clock lines up with its Sun: Farmington sits furthest west inside its zone, which puts mean solar noon about 13 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.
