Sunrise & Sunset in Cincinnati During May

May delivers some of the most pleasant daylight conditions of the year in Cincinnati. 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 Cincinnati lasts approximately 65 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 Cincinnati are lengthening by roughly 1.7 minutes per day, adding up to about 0h 52m over the course of the month.
