Memphis was for decades the busiest cargo airport in the world, handling several million tonnes a year, because FedEx built its central sorting hub here. Most of the work happens between midnight and 04:00.
The clock: Memphis keeps Central Time, and its cargo hub is one of the few large operations anywhere deliberately scheduled to run against the local clock.
Memphis lies at 90.0°W. Its time zone, UTC−6, is built around the 90°W meridian. The two very nearly coincide: solar noon — the moment the sun is highest — falls at about 12:00, which is as close to true solar time as a zone this wide can get. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 60 minutes and pushing solar noon to 13:00.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 14h 32m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 9h 47m. The swing between them is 4h 44m. 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 Memphis the sun comes up earliest on 13 June at 05:45, while the latest sunset waits until 30 June at 20:19. 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 Memphis that civil twilight runs about 25 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 30 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.
