Questions
- What time is sunset in Palm Springs today?
- Sunset in Palm Springs on Thursday, September 10, 2026 is at 6:59 PM Pacific time.
- When is the latest sunset of the year in Palm Springs?
- Saturday, June 27, 2026, at 8:01 PM — a few days after the June solstice, not on it.
- When is the earliest sunset in Palm Springs?
- Friday, November 27, 2026, at 4:37 PM. It comes about three weeks before the winter solstice, which is why December afternoons feel dark before the shortest day arrives.
- What time zone are these times in?
- Pacific time — PDT in summer, PST in winter. Palm Springs observes daylight saving, so the clock times here already account for the shift.
- How accurate are these times?
- Within about a minute. They come from the NOAA solar position formulas computed for 33.83°N, 116.55°W, and they assume a flat horizon — hills, buildings, or marine layer will move what you actually see.
Sun and moon are computed from the NOAA solar formulas and the standard synodic model — no forecast, no API, nothing to go stale. Tide is never computed here; it comes from NOAA or it is absent. Machine-readable version.
