About The Valley time
The Valley keeps one clock.
The Valley serves as the quiet administrative and cultural heart of Anguilla in the British Caribbean, where life ticks along year-round on Atlantic Standard Time with no daylight-saving shifts to track — a truly consistent schedule against the ever-shifting global clockwork. Business hours follow the relaxed yet naturally effervescent island pace, keeping local companies and international partners aligned along the same straightforward UTC −4 schedule from January to December.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about The Valley's time zone, daylight saving rules, and scheduling across it. Can't find what you need? Email [email protected].
- Does Anguilla observe daylight saving time?
- No. The Valley and the rest of Anguilla remain on Atlantic Standard Time (AST) throughout the year, so teams never need to adjust clock settings for locals.
- What UTC offset does The Valley use?
- −4 hours from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC−4), matching the Atlantic Standard Time zone used by parts of the Caribbean and eastern Canada.
- How many hours ahead or behind is The Valley compared to London (GMT)?
- Four hours behind London when the UK is on standard time, and five hours behind during British Summer Time (March–October).
- Is The Valley's time different from nearby Saint-Martin/Sint Maarten?
- Despite the island pair being only about 16 km apart, The Valley (AST, UTC−4) and Saint-Martin (also AST) normally align, simplifying cross-island coordination during Anguilla's annual arts festival and maritime events.
- Which major North-American cities share the same standard offset?
- Eastern-income summers (e.g., New York or Toronto during EDT) fall line up at UTC−4, yet Eastern-income fall & winter months jump to a five-hour gap because those cities observe daylight saving while The Valley does not; year-round the shared offset is closer to summer-session cities like Halifax, Canada, or Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, which, like Anguilla, remain at UTC−4.
- What's unique about doing business with Anguilla from Asia?
- Split a 12–16-hour difference depending on your city) means morning stand-ups in The Valley are late-night or early-morning calls for most Asian offices, so asynchronous updates tend to suit both sides best.
- When is daylight longest in The Valley?
- Being close to the equator at 18° N latitude, The Valley enjoys fairly consistent daylight of roughly 11–13.5 hours year-round, peaking around the June solstice when sunset is after 6:30 p.m.
- Does Anguilla's time ever differ from Puerto Rico or the US Virgin Islands?
- All three Caribbean territories keep Atlantic Standard Time (AST, UTC−4) without daylight saving, so The Valley and places like San Juan or Charlotte Amalie are always clock-matched despite being in different political jurisdictions.
