The day is 9 hours 4 minutes long in Brussels, and losing 3 minutes a day. The sun peaks at 12:26 pm, 26 minutes after noon on the clock. A UTC offset is a promise that the sun is overhead at midday on one meridian, and Brussels sits 43 minutes of solar time west of UTC+1:00’s. The rest is the equation of time, which swings about a quarter of an hour either way across the year.

The solar year swings 8 hours 35 minutes in Brussels: 16 hours 31 minutes of daylight at the June solstice against 7 hours 56 minutes at the December one. Being north of the equator, its longest day falls in June — the opposite way round from the other hemisphere.
