Tokelau moved across the international date line by skipping 30 December 2011, jumping straight from 29 December to 31 December, so that it would share a working week with New Zealand and Samoa rather than trailing a day behind.
The clock: Fakaofo keeps UTC+13. Tokelau runs almost entirely on solar power, installed in 2012.
Fakaofo lies at 171.2°W. Its time zone, UTC+13, is built around the 165°W meridian. The 6.2° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 25 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:25 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+13 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 12h 40m of daylight. The shortest is 22 June, with 11h 34m. The swing between them is 1h 6m. Within a few degrees of the equator the length of the day barely moves all year.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Fakaofo the sun comes up earliest on 16 November at 05:54, while the latest sunset waits until 29 January at 18:53. 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 Fakaofo that civil twilight runs about 21 minutes at the equinox.
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.
