Helsinki: Helsinki is the capital and most populous city in Finland. It is on the shore of the Gulf of Finland and is the seat of southern Finland's Uusimaa region. About 694,000 people live in the municipality, with 1.3 million in the capital region and 1.6 million in the metropolitan area. As the most populous urban area in Finland, it is the country's most significant centre for politics, education, finance, culture, and research. Helsinki is 80 kilometres (50 mi) north of Tallinn, Estonia, 400 kilometres (250 mi) east of Stockholm, Sweden, and 300 kilometres (190 mi) west of Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Observes daylight saving time. Civil clocks shift forward by one hour during the local summer, swinging between standard UTC+02:00 and summer UTC+03:00. Transitions follow the IANA zone Europe/Helsinki.
Helsinki is listed in the dataset snapshot as 3 hours ahead of UTC (offset +03:00). 2 hours ahead of London, 6 hours behind Tokyo.
Geographically at longitude 24.94°, Helsinki's mean solar noon falls about 1 hour 20 minutes after civil 12:00 under the sampled +03:00 civil offset; during the alternate seasonal offset this shifts by about one hour on the clock — local sunrise and sunset run later on the clock than they would on true solar time.
Helsinki sits at 60.17°N in the northern hemisphere — daylight runs roughly 18 hours 33 minutes on the June solstice and about 5 hours 27 minutes on the December solstice.
