About the time in Wales
Wales sits at latitude 48.90, in the temperate-north band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 58m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Around 31 people live in Wales, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Wales is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC −5 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 1 November 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
