The clock: the Canaries keep UTC+0, an hour behind mainland Spain, and the Teide Observatory, at Izaña, takes advantage of some of the clearest night skies in the northern hemisphere.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife lies at 16.3°W. Its time zone, UTC+0, is built around the prime meridian (0°). The 16.3° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 65 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 13:05 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 125 minutes and pushing solar noon to 14:05.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 13h 57m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 10h 20m. The swing between them is 3h 38m. At this latitude the seasons are visible in the clock, but never dramatic.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Santa Cruz de Tenerife the sun comes up earliest on 28 March at 07:01, while the latest sunset waits until 3 July at 21:06. 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 Santa Cruz de Tenerife that civil twilight runs about 24 minutes at the equinox.
