About the time in Longyearbyen
Longyearbyen is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC +2 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 25 October 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
Longyearbyen runs on Arctic/Longyearbyen, which puts the city UTC +2 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.
Around 2,368 people live in Longyearbyen, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
