Sunrise & Sunset Times in Kyiv — October 2026

Sunrise & Sunset in Kyiv During October

October in Kyiv brings a pronounced shortening of days as the sun's arc drops lower. Sunrise arrives later each morning and sunset comes markedly earlier, with the total daylight loss accelerating through mid-month before easing slightly. Where daylight saving time ends in October, the clock change shifts an hour of evening light to the morning. Civil twilight contracts, and by month's end, darkness arrives early enough to reshape daily routines.

Golden Hour & Twilight in October

During October, golden hour in Kyiv lasts approximately 60 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 October, days in Kyiv are shortening by roughly 3.7 minutes per day, adding up to about 1h 50m over the course of the month.
