How Las Palmas Keeps Time
Las Palmas keeps WET, UTC+0. The live clock normally synchronizes to the site time source and then applies the IANA rules for Las Palmas; until synchronization succeeds, it uses the device clock as a fallback. Daylight-saving changes are applied only where that zone actually observes them.
Las Palmas runs on the Atlantic/Canary zone in the IANA time zone database, which is UTC+0 right now. The clocks change twice a year here: UTC+0 on standard time and UTC+1 while daylight saving is in force. The next change is on 28 March 2027, when clocks go forward one hour.
The sun rises in Las Palmas at 7:09 am today and sets at 6:22 pm — 11 hours 13 minutes of daylight, with solar noon at 12:45 pm. Those times come from the city’s coordinates (28.12, -15.44), so they shift a little every day of the year.
On the two solstices, Las Palmas has about 13 hours 56 minutes of daylight in June and 10 hours 21 minutes in December. The difference is about 3 hours 34 minutes, which shows how strongly the local daylight cycle changes through the year.
At the current civil offset, Las Palmas’s longitude corresponds to a difference of about 1 hour 2 minutes between zone time and longitude-based mean solar time. Today’s calculated solar noon is 12:45 pm rather than 12:00 on the clock.
WET is one of several zones in Spain, so a time quoted for the country as a whole is not necessarily the time here. Check the city rather than the country when it matters.
