From sunrise to sunset, Dallas has 11 hours 6 minutes today. That's 1 min 50 sec shorter than yesterday's day, and 1 hour 7 minutes longer than the darkest day of the past winter, December 21, 2025 (9 h 59 min). The days are getting shorter until the shortest day of the year.
What sets Dallas apart
- The sun is highest at 1:27 PM on the longest day, 27 minutes after 1 PM, because Dallas sits far west in its time zone. Its evenings run late and its mornings start late.
- Its longest day is 4 h 19 min longer than its shortest: 14 h 19 min on the longest day against 9 h 59 min on the shortest.
- On its shortest day, December 22, Dallas gets 9 h 59 min of daylight, 38th shortest of the 51 cities on DaySight.
First light and last light
The sky gets light at 7:14 AM, 25 minutes before the sun comes up, and stays light until 7:10 PM, 25 minutes after it sets. That gives Dallas 11 hours 57 minutes of usable light today, against 11 h 6 min of sun. Both are the moment the sun is 6° below the horizon (how DaySight calculates these times).
Clock changes
On Sunday, November 1 the clocks go back. In Dallas that takes sunset from 6:38 PM the day before to 5:37 PM, and sunrise from 7:45 AM to 6:46 AM. The light shifts to the morning, where it does the most good for sleep.
