Wrexham
About Wrexham
The largest town in north Wales, granted city status in 2022. Close to the English border and further north than Cardiff, Wrexham gets noticeably longer summer evenings and shorter winter afternoons than the south.
Like everywhere else in Wales, Wrexham 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 Wrexham receives roughly 18 minutes more daylight than Cardiff, a consequence of sitting further north.
Across the year the swing here is considerable: from 7h 33m of daylight around the winter solstice to 16h 56m at midsummer, a difference of more than 9 hours.
