Pointe-à-Pitre lies at 61.5°W. Its time zone, UTC−4, is built around the 60°W meridian. The 1.5° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 6 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:06 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC−4 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 13h 6m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 11h 10m. The swing between them is 1h 56m. 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 Pointe-à-Pitre the sun comes up earliest on 4 June at 05:33, while the latest sunset waits until 9 July at 18:43.
