This is the local time of eastern Bornholm, leaving 99.5% of the country west of the time meridian (15☎), which has triggered some sarcastic comments (changing from Copenhagen time to Gudhjem time). In 1893, Denmark adopted the "Act on the Determination of Time", to connect to the international time zones, using Greenwich plus one hour, which set the standard time in Denmark as 12:00 when the sun is directly above 15☎, starting from 1 January 1894. In 1890 this time was introduced as a standard time for Denmark. The first time a common time was used in Denmark, was in 1890, when Copenhagen local time was used as railway time. In most of Greenland, the transition takes place at 23:00 Local Standard Time on the day before (00:00 Daylight Saving Time). That means that in Denmark proper, the transition is at 02:00 Local Standard Time (03:00 Daylight Saving Time) and in the Faroe Islands one hour earlier. The transition dates are according to the European Union rules, except for the Pituffik Space Base, which uses United States transition dates and for which the following description does not apply.ĭST starts at 01:00 UTC on the last Sunday in March and ends same time on the last Sunday in October each year in all affected areas. UTC-04:00 as standard time, and UTC-03:00 as daylight saving time, with transition dates according to the United States rules.Īll of Greenland uses Daylight Saving Time, except for the northeast coast. Some places, such as Qaanaaq (69☁3′W corresponding to UTC-04:37) and Kulusuk (37☁1′W corresponding to UTC-02:28) are located outside the UTC-03:00 ± 00:30 zone, but still use the same time zone as the capital Nuuk (51☄4′W corresponding to UTC-03:26:56) Atlantic Time Tasiilaq and Kulusuk on the east coast.Including Qaanaaq, Ilulissat, Kangerlussuaq, Nuuk and Qaqortoq.UTC-02:00 as standard time, and UTC-01:00 as daylight saving time. Ittoqqortoormiit, Neerlerit Inaat and surrounding area on the east coast of Greenland.UTC-01:00 as standard time, and UTC☐0:00 as daylight saving time. In the summer the time is the same as for East Greenland time. The area uses same time as Iceland (WET), since it is generally supplied from Iceland. There are a few settlements, like the weather station Danmarkshavn, otherwise unpopulated. UTC☐0:00 year around, no daylight saving time The island of Mykines is actually located at 7☃6′W longitude and thus at UTC-00:31 (closer to UTC-01:00 than UTC), however Mykines uses the same time zone as the rest of the Faroe Islands. UTC☐0:00 as standard time, and UTC+01:00 as daylight saving time. The proposal became effective law on 26 March 2023 at 2:00, superseding the 1893 law. On 14 March 2023, the Folketing adopted a proposal to set the de jure standard time of Denmark as UTC+1, with exceptions made for Greenland and the Faroe Islands. As Earth's rotation is not completely regular, the time could be offset by up to a 0.9 seconds in either direction, compared to UTC+1, requiring a leap second to be added to remedy the issue. This linked the standard time in Denmark to Earth's rotation, and clocks in Denmark were at 12:00, when the sun is directly above the 15° Eastern meridian. An 1893 law set the de jure standard time of Denmark as the mean solar time 15☎ of Greenwich, for all of Denmark, with an exception for the Faroe Islands, effective at 1 January 1894. The UTC+01:00 centerline ( 15☎) goes through Bornholm, approximately 2 kilometers from Gudhjem, in the far eastern Denmark, while Copenhagen at 12☃4′E corresponds to UTC+0:50, and the west coast at 8☆′E corresponds to UTC+0:32. Including Copenhagen, Aarhus and Rønne ( Bornholm).UTC+01:00 as standard time, and UTC+02:00 as daylight saving time, with transition dates according to the European Union rules.
