About Victoria
Victoria is located at a latitude of -4.62° and a longitude of 55.45°. The city is in the Indian/Mahe timezone.

Seasons & Daylight in Victoria
Spring brings 12h 6m of daylight to Victoria around the equinox – almost the same as in any other season. Close to the equator the length of the day barely changes; rainy and dry seasons shape the year more than daylight does.
Even the longest days in Victoria last only about 12h 24m. At some point of the year the midday sun stands almost vertically overhead, so shadows nearly disappear at noon.
Around the equinox Victoria has 12h 7m of daylight. Sunrise and sunset stay at nearly the same time all year, and the golden hour is short because the sun climbs and sinks steeply.
The shortest days in Victoria still offer 11h 51m of daylight – only a little less than in summer. There is no dark season here: the sun stays high and the midday light is intense all year.
