The Isle of Man TT has run on public roads since 1907, and since 1911 over the 60-kilometre Mountain Course, and more than 260 competitors have died on it — the highest toll of any motorsport event. The lap record now stands at about 219 km/h (136 mph).
The clock: Douglas keeps UK time. The Manx parliament, Tynwald, claims continuous existence since around 979, which would make it the oldest in the world.
Douglas lies at 4.5°W. Its time zone, UTC+0, is built around the prime meridian (0°). The 4.5° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 18 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:18 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 78 minutes and pushing solar noon to 13:18.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 17h 11m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 7h 21m. The swing between them is 9h 50m. 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 Douglas the sun comes up earliest on 18 June at 04:44, while the latest sunset waits until 26 June at 21:55. 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 Douglas that civil twilight runs about 35 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 55 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.
