About the sun in Port Hedland
In Port Hedland, the longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 13h 22m of daylight, and the shortest is 21 June, with 10h 54m: a difference of 2 hours 28 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on 27 November (5:16 AM) and the latest sunset on 16 January (6:52 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. Port Hedland lies between the tropics, so the sun is directly overhead at solar noon twice a year: on 19 January and 23 November.
