Sunrise & Sunset Times in Riga — March 2026

Sunrise & Sunset in Riga During March

March contains the spring equinox around the 20th, when day and night are nearly equal in length in Riga. Before the equinox, days are shorter than nights; after it, daylight takes the lead and keeps growing. The rate of change is at its fastest near the equinox — residents can gain three to four minutes of daylight per day. Many regions also shift to daylight saving time in March, moving clocks forward and pushing sunset an hour later.

Golden Hour & Twilight in March

During March, golden hour in Riga lasts approximately 63 minutes each morning and evening. The low sun angle during these periods produces warm, directional light prized by photographers and filmmakers. Civil twilight — the period when the sun is just below the horizon — adds extra usable light before sunrise and after sunset, extending the practical daylight window beyond the times shown in the table above.

Through March, days in Riga are lengthening by roughly 4.9 minutes per day, adding up to about 2h 26m over the course of the month.
