Clock time versus solar time
When the clock in Las Palmas reads 12:00, the sun is not yet overhead — the civil clock runs 1 hour 2 minutes ahead of mean solar time here. That is a substantial gap, and it is the reason daily rhythms in Las Palmas can feel shifted relative to the clock: sunrise, lunch and sunset all arrive later in clock terms than the number suggests.
During summer time that gap widens to 2 hours 2 minutes ahead of the sun, which is the whole point of the exercise — shifting daylight into the evening.
