Saint Andrew Parish, Grenada

Current time in Saint Andrew Parish, Grenada

The parish observes Atlantic Standard Time with an offset of UTC−4. Grenada does not make a seasonal daylight-saving adjustment, so the local offset remains stable throughout the year. When comparing Saint Andrew with another country, remember that the overseas location may change clocks. The international time difference can therefore shift even though nothing changes locally. America/Grenada is the appropriate named zone for electronic calendars.

Saint Andrew keeps steady time; the complicated part is explaining that to a calendar full of wandering overseas clocks.

Grenville and communities of Saint Andrew

Grenville is the parish’s principal town and one of Grenada’s major population and commercial centres. Communities elsewhere in Saint Andrew include Marquis, Paradise, Telescope, Soubise and Tivoli. Local boundaries and settlement labels should be checked when an address lies near another parish.

Use Grenville for a general parish-level time display. Select the named community for weather and solar information. Use coordinates for farms, trails or addresses outside town centres. Do not confuse shared civil time with identical daylight conditions.

The entire parish uses the same national clock. Travelling from Grenville to another community within Saint Andrew does not require a time adjustment, although journey conditions and daylight visibility can vary with terrain.

Sunrise on Grenada’s eastern side

Saint Andrew occupies much of the eastern side of Grenada’s main island. Sunrise times vary with date and precise position. Coastal viewpoints may have a broad eastern horizon, while hills and vegetation can postpone the first direct sunlight seen inland.

A calculated sunrise is an astronomical event, not a guarantee of a bright morning. Cloud, rain and relief all affect observation. Civil dawn occurs before sunrise and may supply enough natural light for some activities.

For fishing, farming, hiking or road travel, use the nearest community or exact coordinates. Pair sunrise with a weather forecast and, where relevant, local guidance. Sunset should also be checked for return journeys because a departure made in daylight may finish after dark.
