Guadeloupe is a French overseas department and uses Atlantic Standard Time, UTC-4, year-round with no daylight saving. The IANA identifier is America/Guadeloupe. As a French territory, Guadeloupe uses the euro and follows French law, but it keeps a Caribbean clock rather than aligning with European time.
At 16 degrees north, Petit-Bourg’s daylight barely varies: around 11 to 13 hours across the year. The rhythm is shaped by the wet and dry season cycle of the Caribbean: the dry season (February through June) and the wet season (July through December, with the hurricane risk from August through October).
