Local time in Fort-de-France (America/Martinique), daylight saving time included, rounded to the minute, for an open horizon at sea level.

Earliest sunset, latest sunrise

The shortest day in Fort-de-France is December 21, but the earliest sunset comes on November 20, at 5:32 PM, and the latest sunrise on January 21, at 6:33 AM. This shift comes from the equation of time: around the solstices, solar noon drifts by up to half a minute a day on the clock, so sunrise and sunset do not move symmetrically.

Solar noon and time zone

Fort-de-France lies at 14.62° north and 61.06° west. Its standard time, UTC−4, is set on the 60° west meridian, so the sun reaches its highest point in Fort-de-France about 4 minutes later than on that meridian. Over the year, solar noon falls between 11:48 AM (November 2) and 12:18 PM (February 10) on the clock.

Daylight saving time

Fort-de-France does not change its clocks (UTC−4 all year), so sunrise and sunset move only with the seasons: sunrise by 59 min and sunset by 1 h 6 min over the year.

Height of the sun and twilight

At solar noon the sun climbs to 90.0° above the horizon on April 29, almost straight overhead, and only 51.9° on December 21. Civil twilight, from first light to sunrise, lasts about 21 minutes at the March equinox and 24 minutes in late June. The day length changes fastest around March 21: 49 s more each day.

The sky gets fully dark every night of the year: even in midsummer, the sun sinks more than 18° below the horizon.
