The clock: Benghazi keeps UTC+2. The Green Mountain behind it is the wettest part of Libya, receiving enough rain to support forest in a country that is over 90% desert.
Benghazi lies at 20.1°E. Its time zone, UTC+2, is built around the 30°E meridian. The 9.9° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 40 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:40 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+2 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 14h 15m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 10h 3m. The swing between them is 4h 13m. 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 Benghazi the sun comes up earliest on 12 June at 05:33, while the latest sunset waits until 1 July at 19:50.

The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Benghazi that civil twilight runs about 24 minutes at the equinox.
