About Pontypridd

A valleys town at the confluence of the Rhondda and Taff rivers, and the birthplace of the Welsh national anthem, Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau.

Like everywhere else in Wales, Pontypridd 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 Pontypridd 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.
