U.S. Virgin Islands does not change its clocks

U.S. Virgin Islands stays on UTC−4:00 all year. Its offset from UTC never moves, so its relationship to places that do change shifts twice a year instead — which is usually why someone checks. Right now it is 4 hours behind UTC and on the same clock as New York.

The day is 12 hours 5 minutes long in St Thomas, and losing 1 minute a day. The sun peaks at 12:11 pm, 11 minutes after noon on the clock. A UTC offset is a promise that the sun is overhead at midday on one meridian, and St Thomas sits 20 minutes of solar time west of UTC−4:00’s. The rest is the equation of time, which swings about a quarter of an hour either way across the year.

St Thomas lies inside the tropics, so the sun passes directly overhead at noon twice a year — around May 12 and July 30 in 2026, when a vertical object casts almost no shadow. Nowhere outside the tropics ever sees that. The longest day is 13 hours 14 minutes and the shortest 11 hours 2 minutes, 132 minutes apart.

U.S. Virgin Islands’s offset has not moved once since 1970 — no daylight saving, and no change of zone.
