Walvis Bay: Walvis Bay is a city in Namibia and the name of the bay on which it lies. It is the second largest city in Namibia and the largest coastal city in the country. The city covers an area of 29 square kilometres (11 sq mi) of land. The bay is a haven for sea vessels due to its harbour, protected by the Pelican Point sand spit, which is the only natural deep-water harbour along the country's coast. Being rich in plankton and marine life, these waters also draw large numbers of southern right whales, attracting whalers and fishing vessels.
Does not observe daylight saving time. The UTC offset (+02:00) is constant year-round.
Walvis Bay is listed in the dataset snapshot as 2 hours ahead of UTC (offset +02:00). 1 hour ahead of London, 7 hours behind Tokyo.
Geographically at longitude 14.51°, Walvis Bay's mean solar noon falls about 1 hour 2 minutes after civil 12:00 under the year-round civil offset — local sunrise and sunset run later on the clock than they would on true solar time.
Walvis Bay sits at 22.96°S, in the southern tropics, so the sun passes nearly overhead twice a year and the longest-to-shortest day swing stays under about ninety minutes.
