About Wat Arun
Wat Arun is located at a latitude of 13.74° and a longitude of 100.49°. The city is in the Asia/Bangkok timezone. Being in the tropics, Wat Arun has almost the same day length all year round: sunrise and sunset shift by only a few minutes between the seasons, and twilight is short because the sun rises and sets steeply.
Seasons & Daylight in Wat Arun
Spring brings 12h 6m of daylight to Wat Arun around the equinox – almost the same as in any other season. Close to the equator the length of the day barely changes; rainy and dry seasons shape the year more than daylight does.
Even the longest days in Wat Arun last only about 12h 56m. At some point of the year the midday sun stands almost vertically overhead, so shadows nearly disappear at noon.
Around the equinox Wat Arun has 12h 7m of daylight. Sunrise and sunset stay at nearly the same time all year, and the golden hour is short because the sun climbs and sinks steeply.
The shortest days in Wat Arun still offer 11h 19m of daylight – only a little less than in summer. There is no dark season here: the sun stays high and the midday light is intense all year.
