About Llanelli

The largest town in Carmarthenshire, on the Loughor estuary. Once the tinplate capital of the world, it is now known for the Wetland Centre and its rugby side, the Scarlets.

Like everywhere else in Wales, Llanelli 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 Llanelli receives roughly 2 minutes more daylight than Cardiff, a consequence of sitting further north.

Across the year the swing here is considerable: from 7h 48m of daylight around the winter solstice to 16h 40m at midsummer, a difference of more than 8 hours.
