Helsinki is located at 60.17°N, 24.94°E. Its latitude determines how dramatically daylight hours change through the year.
The city uses the Europe/Helsinki timezone (GMT+3). 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 Helsinki this falls around 13:19 in mid-summer and 12:10 in December, reflecting UTC offset and any DST adjustments.
