Which cities are on a different clock?
Portugal does not kick off once. Lisbon, Azores are listed separately because the time-zone database gives them different offsets on this date, or because readers look for those cities by name. The first line, Lisbon at midnight, is the one in the title. The table is the rest of the country. Using the title time in a city that the table shows later or earlier is how a correct national page still makes someone miss the whistle.
