Edinburg's golden hour is short, specific, and worth planning around. The times below are computed live for Edinburg's exact coordinates (26.3017, -98.1633) and update automatically for any date you pick — sunset, sunrise, golden hour and blue hour, all in local time. Note the times below account for Edinburg's latitude — golden hour runs longer in winter and shorter at midsummer than most charts assume.
The month-by-month table below is in this city's own local time. The live times above follow your device's timezone. Mountains, ridgelines and buildings can shorten the usable window — scout your horizon.
Local tip: Don't pack up at sunset — blue hour starts right after, and the 20 minutes of deep-blue sky with city lights on is the most underrated window of the day.
In Edinburg, sunset ranges from 5:40 PM in November to 8:29 PM in June. All times local to Edinburg (America/Chicago).

Golden hour is the stretch just after sunrise and just before sunset, when the low sun turns hard daylight into soft, warm, directional light — the most flattering natural light for portraits, real estate, product and landscape photography. Blue hour follows sunset (and precedes sunrise): a short window of deep, even blue that's ideal for twilight real estate shots and skylines. Both windows change with latitude and season, which is why this page computes them live instead of guessing.
