Palikir is in the Pacific/Kosrae timezone (+11/UTC+11), with no daylight saving time observed. Palikir is one of the world’s least-visited national capitals, a small government center southwest of Kolonia on Pohnpei island in Micronesia.[3] The Federated States of Micronesia is an island nation of 607 islands spread across 2.7 million square kilometers of the western Pacific, with a total land area smaller than Rhode Island.

The FSM uses multiple timezones across its scattered islands. Pohnpei, where Palikir sits, uses Pacific/Kosrae at UTC+11. Chuuk and Yap use UTC+10. Kosrae uses UTC+11 as well. The IANA identifier Pacific/Kosrae covers Palikir’s timezone.

At 6.9 degrees north, Palikir’s daylight barely varies: around 12 hours year-round. Pohnpei is famously one of the wettest places on earth, receiving over 7,000 millimeters of rain annually in some parts of the island.[5] The wetness shapes everything: the lush forest that covers the mountainous interior, the agricultural practices, and the daily rhythm of working around the rainfall that can arrive at any time.

Nan Madol and a civilization without writing

The Nan Madol megalithic city, a complex of 92 artificial islets connected by tidal canals, sits off Pohnpei’s eastern coast.[4] Megalithic construction began around 1180-1200 AD and continued into the 1500s. It was the ceremonial and political center of the Saudeleur dynasty.

9am in Palikir is 10pm the previous day in London.
