Daylight saving time in San Juan

San Juan does not observe daylight saving time — its clocks stay on UTC−4 year round, so sunrise and sunset never jump an hour in spring or fall.

Why sunset time shifts in San Juan

Sunset drifts through the year with Earth’s ~23.4° axial tilt — see the full daylight explainer.

In San Juan, the longest day carries about 13h 14m of daylight and the shortest just 11h 1m — a swing of roughly 2h 13m between the June and December solstices. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider that gap; the pace also isn’t steady, moving fastest near the equinoxes and barely at all near the solstices. Every figure here is computed from the sun’s position for San Juan’s exact coordinates, in local time.
