The clock: Banda Aceh keeps UTC+7 at the northwest tip of Sumatra — near Indonesia's western end, and so among the last places in the country to see the sun rise each day.
Banda Aceh lies at 95.3°E. Its time zone, UTC+7, is built around the 105°E meridian. The 9.7° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 39 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:39 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+7 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 12h 27m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 11h 48m. The swing between them is 39 minutes. Within a few degrees of the equator the length of the day barely moves all year.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Banda Aceh the sun comes up earliest on 24 May at 06:23, while the latest sunset waits until 19 July at 18:57. 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 Banda Aceh that civil twilight runs about 21 minutes at the equinox.
