Newport
About Newport
A port city on the River Usk, known for its Transporter Bridge and as the easternmost of the large Welsh cities, which makes it the first place in Wales to see the sunrise each morning.
Like everywhere else in Wales, Newport 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 Newport receives roughly 1 minutes more daylight than Cardiff, a consequence of sitting further north.
Across the year the swing here is considerable: from 7h 49m of daylight around the winter solstice to 16h 39m at midsummer, a difference of more than 8 hours.
