Things about Guadeloupe's time.
As an overseas department of France, Guadeloupe uses Atlantic Standard Time (AST) year-round at UTC-4. It doesn’t observe daylight saving time, unlike mainland France. This means its clock stays consistent throughout the year, making scheduling with Paris only predictable during the six months when France is also on UTC+1 (the other half, when France springs forward to UTC+2, the time difference shrinks from five to six hours).
