Did You Know?
Asunción was founded in 1537 and became the base from which the Spanish founded much of the southern cone — Buenos Aires was re-established by an expedition sent from here, which is why Paraguayans call it the mother of cities.
The clock: Paraguay abolished daylight saving in 2024 and settled on UTC−3 permanently, after decades of switching its clocks twice a year.
Asunción lies at 57.6°W. Its time zone, UTC−3, is built around the 45°W meridian. The 12.6° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 50 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:50 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC−3 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 13h 43m of daylight. The shortest is 22 June, with 10h 34m. The swing between them is 3h 9m. At this latitude the seasons are visible in the clock, but never dramatic.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Asunción the sun comes up earliest on 1 December at 05:52, while the latest sunset waits until 13 January at 19:45. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Asunción that civil twilight runs about 23 minutes at the equinox.
Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
