Sunrise & Sunset in Minneapolis During August

August in Minneapolis sees daylight shrinking at a more noticeable pace than July. By mid-month, the sun sets a full 30-40 minutes earlier than it did at the solstice. Morning twilight starts later, and the first hints of autumn's shorter days become apparent. Despite the decline, August still offers generous daylight — well over 13 hours at most mid-latitude locations. Golden hour arrives earlier each evening, giving warm, angled light that photographers prize.
