Funchal lies at 16.9°W. Its time zone, UTC+0, is built around the prime meridian (0°). The 16.9° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 68 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 13:08 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 128 minutes and pushing solar noon to 14:08.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 14h 18m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 10h. The swing between them is 4h 18m. At this latitude the seasons are visible in the clock, but never dramatic.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Funchal the sun comes up earliest on 13 June at 06:59, while the latest sunset waits until 1 July at 21:19. 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 Funchal that civil twilight runs about 25 minutes at the equinox.
