Wallis and Futuna retains three traditional kingdoms — Uvea, Sigave and Alo — whose kings hold constitutional standing under French law, making it one of the few French territories with recognised customary monarchy.
The clock: Mata-Utu keeps UTC+12, eleven hours ahead of Paris. The whole territory has fewer than 12,000 people; Mata-Utu itself about a thousand.
Mata-Utu lies at 176.2°W. Its time zone, UTC+12, is built around the 180°W meridian. The 3.8° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 15 minutes behind the sun: solar noon arrives at about 11:45 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+12 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 12h 54m of daylight. The shortest is 22 June, with 11h 20m. The swing between them is 1h 34m. 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 Mata-Utu the sun comes up earliest on 20 November at 05:08, while the latest sunset waits until 24 January 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 Mata-Utu that civil twilight runs about 21 minutes at the equinox.
