The clock: Rijeka keeps UTC+1. The first practical torpedo was developed here in 1866, at a factory whose launch station still stands.
Rijeka lies at 14.4°E. Its time zone, UTC+1, is built around the 15°E meridian. The two very nearly coincide: solar noon — the moment the sun is highest — falls at about 12:02, 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 62 minutes and pushing solar noon to 13:02.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 15h 40m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 8h 43m. The swing between them is 6h 56m. 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 Rijeka the sun comes up earliest on 16 June at 05:13, while the latest sunset waits until 28 June at 20:54. 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 Rijeka that civil twilight runs about 29 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 38 minutes at the solstice.
