About the time in Westminster
Westminster sits at latitude 51.51, in the temperate-north band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 14h 17m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:55 and sunset at 08:12 local time, giving 14h 17m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (51.51, -0.16) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Westminster.
Westminster 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.
