Stavanger lies at 5.7°E. Its time zone, UTC+1, is built around the 15°E meridian. The 9.3° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 37 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:37 rather than 12:00.

The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Stavanger the sun comes up earliest on 19 June at 04:23, while the latest sunset waits until 25 June at 22:54.

The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Stavanger that civil twilight runs about 40 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 87 minutes at the solstice.
