Le Tampon, Reunion Β· UTC+4
Convert time from Le Tampon
Le Tampon is one of RΓ©unionβs largest communes, occupying a high plateau on the islandβs southern interior at elevations between 600 and 1,200 meters. The city runs on Indian/Reunion time: UTC+4, year-round. RΓ©union has never observed daylight saving.
At altitude, Le Tampon has a notably cooler climate than the coastal towns. The plateau is a significant agricultural zone, particularly for vegetables and flowers, which grow well in the cooler temperatures. The Piton de la Fournaise, one of the worldβs most active volcanoes, rises to the southeast, and Le Tamponβs residents have a closer relationship with volcanic activity than most urban populations on earth.
volcano, highland farms, and Paris evening news at afternoon
RΓ©union is a French overseas department, and the UTC+4 timezone puts it three to four hours ahead of metropolitan France. French television and government services arrive on a schedule offset from local time. The evening news from Paris arrives in late afternoon in Le Tampon.
At 21 degrees south, the island has moderate seasonal daylight variation. But at altitude, the quality of that light is different: clearer, thinner air, with the volcanic peaks often catching the first and last rays of the day while coastal areas are still in shadow.
Saint-Denis on the northern coast keeps the same time. 9am in Le Tampon is 5am in London, four hours ahead of GMT.
