Sunrise & Sunset Times in Rotorua — June 2025

Sunrise & Sunset in Rotorua During June

June contains the winter solstice around the 21st, giving Rotorua its shortest day and longest night of the year. Near the solstice, the rate of change levels off — days are nearly the same length for about two weeks. The sun reaches its lowest noon altitude, casting long shadows even at midday. In high southern latitudes, twilight periods are brief and darkness dominates. After the solstice, the slow return of daylight begins — a turning point for the year.
