Sunrise & Sunset Times in Anchorage — June 2026

Sunrise & Sunset in Anchorage During June

June contains the summer solstice around the 21st, giving Anchorage its longest day and shortest night of the year. Near the solstice, the rate of daylight change slows to near zero — days are almost the same length for about two weeks. In high-latitude cities, twilight may never fully fade to darkness, creating white nights. The sun reaches its highest noon altitude, producing the shortest shadows and most direct sunlight of the year.

Golden Hour & Twilight in June

During June, golden hour in Anchorage lasts approximately 76 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 June, days in Anchorage are lengthening by roughly 1.1 minutes per day, adding up to about 0h 33m over the course of the month.
