About the time in Galway
Galway is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC +1 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 25 October 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Galway day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 08:00–16:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Galway sits at latitude 53.27, in the temperate-north band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 14h 26m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
