About the time in Swindon
Swindon runs on Europe/London, 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.
Swindon follows the civil time used across its region of United Kingdom; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Sunrise today lands at 06:04 and sunset at 08:19 local time, giving 14h 15m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (52.51, -2.21) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Swindon.
