Windsor sits south of Detroit, which makes it one of the few places in Canada where you travel northward to cross into the United States. The Ambassador Bridge between them carries a substantial share of all Canada–US trade.
The clock: Windsor keeps Eastern Time with Detroit across the river, so the busiest commercial crossing on the continent involves no time change.
Windsor lies at 83.0°W. Its time zone, UTC−5, is built around the 75°W meridian. The 8.0° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 32 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:32 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 92 minutes and pushing solar noon to 13:32.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 15h 17m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 9h 5m. The swing between them is 6h 12m. 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 Windsor the sun comes up earliest on 16 June at 05:55, while the latest sunset waits until 28 June at 21:13. 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.
