How to read it
Johannesburg's longest day, around December 22, has 13 hours 47 minutes of daylight, and its shortest, around June 21, has 10 hours 30 minutes.
Sunset in Johannesburg comes earliest around May 31, at about 17:23, and latest around January 11, at about 19:05. That earliest sunset comes about 21 days before Johannesburg's shortest day, because the Sun's noon drifts against the clock through the year. Johannesburg keeps the same clock all year (Africa/Johannesburg), so its sunset drifts with no jump.
Johannesburg's evening golden hour, the Sun from 6° up to 4° below the horizon, lasts about 45 minutes around the equinoxes; at midsummer about 50 minutes.
