Alicante is located at 38.35°N, 0.48°W. Its latitude determines how dramatically daylight hours change through the year.
The city uses the Europe/Madrid timezone (GMT+2). It observes Daylight Saving Time, so sunrise and sunset times shift by one hour in spring and autumn.
Solar noon — the moment the sun reaches its highest point in the sky — occurs when the sun crosses the local meridian. In Alicante this falls around 14:01 in mid-summer and 12:52 in December, reflecting UTC offset and any DST adjustments.
