How Rahu kaal moves through the year in Toronto

Rahu kaal is one eighth of the time between sunrise and sunset, and the weekday decides which eighth. Because the day itself changes length, so does Rahu kaal. In Toronto in 2026:

Latest sunrise07:56, around 1 January
Longest day15 h 16 min, around 21 June
Shortest day8 h 45 min, around 21 December
Rahu kaal lastsAbout 66 to 114 minutes

Rahu kaal is one eighth of the daytime, from sunrise to sunset, and which eighth depends on the weekday. In 2026 the sun rises in Toronto as early as 05:40 (around 13 June) and as late as 07:56 (around 1 January), so Rahu kaal lasts from about 66 to 114 minutes and shifts through the year.
