The day is 10 hours 35 minutes long in Jerusalem, and losing 1 minute a day. The sun peaks at 11:23 am, 37 minutes before noon on the clock. A UTC offset is a promise that the sun is overhead at midday on one meridian, and Jerusalem sits 21 minutes of solar time east of UTC+2:00’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 4 hours 9 minutes in Jerusalem: 14 hours 14 minutes of daylight at the June solstice against 10 hours 4 minutes at the December one. Being north of the equator, its longest day falls in June — the opposite way round from the other hemisphere.
