About Colwyn Bay
A Victorian resort town on the north Wales coast between Rhyl and Llandudno, with a three-mile bay and promenade.
Like everywhere else in Wales, Colwyn Bay keeps Greenwich Mean Time from late October to late March and British Summer Time for the rest of the year. There is no local time variation anywhere in the country, but daylight is a different matter. At the June solstice Colwyn Bay receives roughly 22 minutes more daylight than Cardiff, a consequence of sitting further north.
Across the year the swing here is considerable: from 7h 30m of daylight around the winter solstice to 17h 00m at midsummer, a difference of more than 9 hours.
