Sunrise & Sunset Times in Bakersfield — July 2026

Sunrise & Sunset in Bakersfield During July

July in Bakersfield still enjoys very long days, though daylight has begun its slow retreat from the June solstice peak. The decrease is gentle at first — just a minute or so per day — so most people barely notice. Sunrise drifts slightly later and sunset slightly earlier, but evenings remain bright and warm. The high sun angle keeps twilight periods long, and the combination of warmth and extended light makes July one of the most daylight-rich months.

Golden Hour & Twilight in July

During July, golden hour in Bakersfield lasts approximately 63 minutes each morning and evening. The low sun angle during these periods produces warm, directional light prized by photographers and filmmakers.

Through July, days in Bakersfield are shortening by roughly 1.1 minutes per day, adding up to about 0h 33m over the course of the month.
