Came across this recent article about the different time zones in the world and how their clocks compare to the actual positioning of the Sun.

Quote:
It shows the difference between clock time and “solar time”—a schedule in which the sun is at its highest point in the sky at exactly 12 noon.
For whatever reason, more of the world seems to be a little bit like Spain—the sun rises and sets later in the day than it should—than the other way around. The "late" places are shown in red, the "early" places in green. The deeper the shade, the more off the time is.
