The clock: Málaga records around 2,900 hours of sunshine a year, among the most of any European city. On CET, that sunshine arrives almost eighty minutes later on the clock than its longitude would suggest, and more than two hours later in summer.
Malaga lies at 4.4°W. Its time zone, UTC+1, is built around the 15°E meridian. The 19.4° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 78 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 13:18 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 138 minutes and pushing solar noon to 14:18.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 14h 41m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 9h 39m. The swing between them is 5h 2m. This is the latitude band where the difference between summer and winter evenings is most obvious.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Malaga the sun comes up earliest on 14 June at 06:58, while the latest sunset waits until 30 June at 21:40. 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 Malaga that civil twilight runs about 26 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 31 minutes at the solstice.
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.
