The clock: Benguela keeps UTC+1. Its carnival is the oldest in Angola and draws on both Portuguese and Bantu traditions.
Benguela lies at 13.4°E. Its time zone, UTC+1, is built around the 15°E meridian. The 1.6° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 6 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:06 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+1 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 12h 52m of daylight. The shortest is 22 June, with 11h 23m. The swing between them is 1h 29m. Inside the tropics the day length stays within a narrow band all year.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Benguela the sun comes up earliest on 20 November at 05:30, while the latest sunset waits until 25 January at 18:39. 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 Benguela that civil twilight runs about 21 minutes at the equinox.
