Local time in Lima (America/Lima), daylight saving time included, rounded to the minute, for an open horizon at sea level.

Earliest sunset, latest sunrise

The shortest day in Lima is June 21, but the earliest sunset comes on May 29, at 5:50 PM, and the latest sunrise on July 10, at 6:30 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

Lima lies at 12.05° south and 77.04° west. Its standard time, UTC−5, is set on the 75° west meridian, so the sun reaches its highest point in Lima about 8 minutes later than on that meridian. Over the year, solar noon falls between 11:52 AM (November 2) and 12:22 PM (February 10) on the clock.

Daylight saving time

Lima does not change its clocks (UTC−5 all year), so sunrise and sunset move only with the seasons: sunrise by 57 min and sunset by 51 min over the year.

Height of the sun and twilight

At solar noon the sun climbs to 89.9° above the horizon on February 16, almost straight overhead, and only 54.5° on June 21. Civil twilight, from first light to sunrise, lasts about 21 minutes at the March equinox and 23 minutes in late June. The day length changes fastest around March 12: 41 s less each day.

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