Rotterdam is located at 51.92°N, 4.48°E. Its latitude determines how dramatically daylight hours change through the year.
The city uses the Europe/Amsterdam timezone (GMT+1). 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 Rotterdam this falls around 13:41 in mid-summer and 12:32 in December, reflecting UTC offset and any DST adjustments.
