Current Time in Montpellier, France

How Montpellier Keeps Time

Montpellier keeps CET, UTC+1. The live clock normally synchronizes to the site time source and then applies the IANA rules for Montpellier; until synchronization succeeds, it uses the device clock as a fallback. Daylight-saving changes are applied only where that zone actually observes them.

Montpellier runs on the Europe/Paris zone in the IANA time zone database, which is UTC+1 right now. The clocks change twice a year here: UTC+1 on standard time and UTC+2 while daylight saving is in force. The next change is on 28 March 2027, when clocks go forward one hour.

The sun rises in Montpellier at 7:12 am today and sets at 5:44 pm — 10 hours 32 minutes of daylight, with solar noon at 12:28 pm. Those times come from the city’s coordinates (43.61, 3.88), so they shift a little every day of the year.

On the two solstices, Montpellier has about 15 hours 26 minutes of daylight in June and 8 hours 56 minutes in December. The difference is about 6 hours 30 minutes, which shows how strongly the local daylight cycle changes through the year.
