The clock: Saint Helier keeps UK time. Jersey has one of the largest tidal ranges in the world, up to about 12 metres, which nearly doubles the island's area at low water.
Saint Helier lies at 2.1°W. Its time zone, UTC+0, is built around the prime meridian (0°). The 2.1° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 8 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:08 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 68 minutes and pushing solar noon to 13:08.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 16h 14m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 8h 12m. The swing between them is 8h 2m. 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 Saint Helier the sun comes up earliest on 17 June at 05:02, while the latest sunset waits until 27 June at 21:18. 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 Saint Helier that civil twilight runs about 32 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 43 minutes at the solstice.
