About the sun in Shimla
In Shimla, the longest day of 2026 is 21 June, with 14h 10m of daylight, and the shortest is 22 December, with 10h 08m: a difference of 4 hours 3 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on 11 June (5:17 AM) and the latest sunset on 30 June (7:29 PM). These dates do not fall on the solstice because Earth's orbit is elliptical and its axis is tilted, so solar noon drifts through the year. Shimla lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 82.3° above the horizon, on 21 June.
