Sunrise and daylight in Piura

Sunrise varies by date and by position within the region. Coastal locations and settlements farther inland can have slightly different sunrise and sunset times even though their clocks agree. For an exact result, use the specific town rather than a regional midpoint.

Piura lies relatively near the equator, so seasonal changes in daylight are less dramatic than they are at high latitudes. Sunrise and sunset still shift over the year, and local topography, cloud, and the horizon can affect when the Sun first becomes visible.

Select the city or district where you will be. Use the intended calendar date. Distinguish calculated sunrise from the first visible sunlight at your location. For travel, photography, outdoor work, or an early departure, allow for twilight and local conditions. A published sunrise is an astronomical calculation, not a promise of clear skies.
