About the time in West Sussex
West Sussex 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.
Around 915,037 people live in West Sussex, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
West Sussex sits at latitude 51.00, in the temperate-north band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 14h 15m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
