The Tisza flood of 1879 destroyed all but about 300 of Szeged's 5,700 buildings. European cities contributed to the rebuilding, and the boulevards of the new city are named after them — Paris, Vienna, Rome, London, Brussels, Moscow.
The clock: Szeged keeps UTC+1 and is the sunniest city in Hungary, with over 2,000 hours a year.
Szeged lies at 20.1°E. Its time zone, UTC+1, is built around the 15°E meridian. The 5.1° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 21 minutes behind the sun: solar noon arrives at about 11:39 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 39 minutes and pushing solar noon to 12:39.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 15h 47m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 8h 36m. The swing between them is 7h 11m. 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 Szeged the sun comes up earliest on 17 June at 04:47, while the latest sunset waits until 27 June at 20:35. 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 Szeged that civil twilight runs about 30 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 39 minutes at the solstice.
