The 6.3° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 25 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:25 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 85 minutes and pushing solar noon to 13:25.

The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Varadero the sun comes up earliest on 1 November at 06:30, while the latest sunset waits until 5 July at 20:15.
