John F. Kennedy's PT-109 was cut in half near Gizo in August 1943, and he swam his crew to an island now named after him. Two Solomon Islands scouts found them and carried a message carved on a coconut.
The clock: Gizo keeps UTC+11. Kennedy kept the coconut on his desk in the Oval Office.
Gizo lies at 156.8°E. Its time zone, UTC+11, is built around the 165°E meridian. The 8.2° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 33 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:33 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+11 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 12h 36m of daylight. The shortest is 22 June, with 11h 39m. The swing between them is 57 minutes. 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 Gizo the sun comes up earliest on 14 November at 06:03, while the latest sunset waits until 31 January at 19:00. 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 Gizo 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.
