The clock: Granada keeps UTC−6. Founded in 1524, it is among the oldest continuously inhabited European-founded cities on the American mainland.
Granada lies at 86.0°W. Its time zone, UTC−6, is built around the 90°W meridian. The 4.0° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 16 minutes behind the sun: solar noon arrives at about 11:44 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC−6 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 12h 50m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 11h 25m. The swing between them is 1h 24m. Inside the tropics the day length stays within a narrow band all year.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Granada the sun comes up earliest on 1 June at 05:18, while the latest sunset waits until 12 July at 18:13. 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 Granada 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.
