PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The autumn season is in full swing as Portland feels cooler temperatures on Thursday and increasingly earlier sunsets.
Nights are now officially longer than days as Portland experiences its final 7 p.m. hour sunset of the year. Portland will see the sun set at 7:01 p.m. on Thursday. The next 7 p.m. sunset isn’t until Daylight Saving Time, which begins again on March 8, 2026.
Monday’s autumn equinox marked the equal amount of daylight seen in the northern and southern hemispheres. As of Thursday, nights are officially longer than the length of the day. The sun will only be above the horizon for 11 hours, 59 minutes, and 33 seconds in the Rose City.
Sunrise times will continue to get later in the morning, sunsets earlier in the evening, all as the northern hemisphere’s nights continue to grow longer until winter.
