FAQ
What time are sunrise and sunset in Portslade-by-Sea today?
Portslade-by-Sea sees sunrise at 04:48 today, with sunset at 21:10. Daylight changes gradually through the year as the sun’s path shifts with the seasons.
How many hours of daylight are there in Portslade-by-Sea today?
Use the Day Length figure in the Sunrise & Sunset section for Portslade-by-Sea. It updates daily and is the clearest way to track how daylight is changing through the season.
Why do sunrise and sunset times change in Portslade-by-Sea?
Sunrise and sunset shift through the year because Earth’s axis is tilted, changing the sun’s daily path across the sky from season to season.

Solar noon marks the sun’s highest point in the sky locally. It doesn’t usually match 12:00 because civil time is tied to time zones and can be offset by BST.
