A River Island the Size of a City

Majuli, upstream from Guwahati, was once around 1,250 square kilometres and is among the largest river islands in the world — though erosion by the Brahmaputra has cut it to a third of that.

The clock: Guwahati keeps UTC+5:30 at 91.7° east. Northeast India has campaigned for its own time zone for decades, since the sun rises here well before 05:00 in summer.

Guwahati lies at 91.7°E. Its time zone, UTC+5:30, is built around the 82.5°E meridian. The 9.2° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 37 minutes behind the sun: solar noon arrives at about 11:23 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+5:30 all year — there is no daylight saving here.

The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 13h 47m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 10h 30m. The swing between them is 3h 17m. 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 Guwahati the sun comes up earliest on 10 June at 04:30, while the latest sunset waits until 4 July at 18:19. 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 Guwahati that civil twilight runs about 23 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.
