Sunrise & Sunset Times in Wellington — February 2027

Sunrise & Sunset in Wellington During February

February continues summer's generous daylight in Wellington, though the shortening trend becomes more noticeable. Each day loses roughly one to two minutes of sunlight compared to the day before. The sun remains high in the sky, keeping temperatures warm and golden hour relatively brief. By late February, sunset arrives several minutes earlier than it did at the start of the month — a gentle reminder that the year's longest days are now behind.

Golden Hour & Twilight in February

During February, golden hour in Wellington lasts approximately 56 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 February, days in Wellington are shortening by roughly 2.6 minutes per day, adding up to about 1h 9m over the course of the month.
