About Rhyl
A north-coast seaside resort on the mouth of the River Clwyd, facing the Irish Sea across a long sandy front.
Like everywhere else in Wales, Rhyl 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 Rhyl 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.
