Did You Know?
Columbus put in at Las Palmas in 1492 to repair the Pinta's rudder before crossing the Atlantic, and the Canaries became the standard last stop for Spanish ships heading west for the next three centuries.
The clock: the Canaries keep UTC+0, an hour behind mainland Spain — which is why Spanish television announces two times for everything.
Las Palmas lies at 15.4°W. Its time zone, UTC+0, is built around the prime meridian (0°). The 15.4° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 62 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 13:02 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 122 minutes and pushing solar noon to 14:02.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 13h 56m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 10h 21m. The swing between them is 3h 34m. 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 Las Palmas the sun comes up earliest on 28 March at 06:58, while the latest sunset waits until 3 July at 21:02. 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 Las Palmas 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.
