The sun and the clock in Perm (2026)
Perm lies at 56.3°E. Its time zone, UTC+5, is built around the 75°E meridian. The 18.8° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 75 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 13:15 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+5 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 18h 11m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 6h 27m. The swing between them is 11h 44m. Close to the Arctic or Antarctic circle, the year swings hard between long light and long dark.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Perm the sun comes up earliest on 19 June at 04:11, while the latest sunset waits until 25 June at 22:23. 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 Perm that civil twilight runs about 39 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 76 minutes at the solstice.
