A Town Painted Blue

Chefchaouen's medina is washed in blue lime — explanations range from Jewish refugees in the 1930s to mosquito deterrence to keeping the walls cool. Whatever started it, the town repaints itself regularly now for entirely commercial reasons.

The clock: Chefchaouen has kept GMT (UTC+0) since Morocco returned to it year-round in September 2026, and sits in the Rif mountains at about 600 metres, cool enough for a genuine winter.

Chefchaouen lies at 5.3°W. Its time zone, UTC+0, is built around the prime meridian (0°). The 5.3° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 21 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:21 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+0 all year — there is no daylight saving here.

The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 14h 32m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 9h 47m. The swing between them is 4h 45m. This is the latitude band where the difference between summer and winter evenings is most obvious.

The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Chefchaouen the sun comes up earliest on 13 June at 06:06, while the latest sunset waits until 30 June at 20:39. 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 Chefchaouen that civil twilight runs about 25 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 30 minutes at the solstice.

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.
