Sunrise & Sunset in Gothenburg During May
May delivers some of the most pleasant daylight conditions of the year in Gothenburg. Days are long but not yet at their peak, with sunrise arriving early and sunset pushing past 8 PM in many mid-latitude locations. The sun's high arc means shorter shadows and abundant natural light throughout the day. Twilight extends generously after sunset, creating prolonged blue-hour and golden-hour periods that last well into the evening.
Golden Hour & Twilight in May
During May, golden hour in Gothenburg lasts approximately 74 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 May, days in Gothenburg are lengthening by roughly 4.0 minutes per day, adding up to about 1h 59m over the course of the month.
