Did You Know?
Tegucigalpa is one of the few national capitals in the Americas never connected to a railway. The terrain around it — a bowl of steep hills at about 990 metres — made the engineering economics impossible.
The clock: Honduras keeps UTC−6 with no daylight saving. It last used DST from May to August 2006, after brief trials in 1987 and 1988, and has not repeated it.
Tegucigalpa lies at 87.2°W. Its time zone, UTC−6, is built around the 90°W meridian. The 2.8° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 11 minutes behind the sun: solar noon arrives at about 11:49 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC−6 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 12h 57m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 11h 18m. The swing between them is 1h 40m. Inside the tropics the day length stays within a narrow band all year.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Tegucigalpa the sun comes up earliest on 3 June at 05:19, while the latest sunset waits until 11 July at 18:21. 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 Tegucigalpa that civil twilight runs about 21 minutes at the equinox.
Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
