The day is 7 hours 50 minutes long in Stockholm, and losing 5 minutes a day. The sun peaks at 11:32 am, 28 minutes before noon on the clock. A UTC offset is a promise that the sun is overhead at midday on one meridian, and Stockholm sits 12 minutes of solar time east 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 12 hours 33 minutes in Stockholm: 18 hours 37 minutes of daylight at the June solstice against 6 hours 5 minutes at the December one. Being north of the equator, its longest day falls in June — the opposite way round from the other hemisphere.
