The clock: Barbados keeps UTC−4 year-round. It is the easternmost Caribbean island, which is why hurricanes usually pass it by.
Bridgetown lies at 59.6°W. Its time zone, UTC−4, is built around the 60°W meridian. The two very nearly coincide: solar noon — the moment the sun is highest — falls at about 11:58, which is as close to true solar time as a zone this wide can get. The zone holds UTC−4 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 12h 54m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 11h 21m. The swing between them is 1h 33m. 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 Bridgetown the sun comes up earliest on 2 June at 05:31, while the latest sunset waits until 11 July at 18:29. 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 Bridgetown that civil twilight runs about 21 minutes at the equinox.
