About the time in Chaves
Sunrise today lands at 06:45 and sunset at 08:20 local time, giving 13h 35m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (41.74, -7.45) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Chaves.
Chaves runs on Europe/Lisbon, which puts the city UTC +1 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Chaves sits at latitude 41.74, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 35m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
