Sunset in Signal Mountain on August 8, 2026
The sun sets in Signal Mountain at 7:37 PM on August 8, 2026, going down toward 290° WNW after a 13h 42m day that began with sunrise at 5:55 AM. Solar noon — the sun's highest point — falls at 12:47 PM, and the evening golden hour leading into sunset runs 7:02 PM – 7:56 PM.
Where on the horizon the sun goes down is always moving. Right now the point where it sets is sliding back toward the south, because Signal Mountain (35.1°N) is heading through summer with the days are drawing in. Over weeks that drift is easy to see against a fixed foreground like a ridgeline or building, which is why sunset compositions rarely repeat exactly.
Sunset isn't the end of the shot. Civil twilight keeps usable light in the sky until dusk at 8:04 PM — roughly 27 minutes after the sun disappears, and the deep-blue 7:56 PM – 8:04 PM blue hour sits in between. Use the planner to line up the exact sunset bearing for any evening.
