Local time in Hong Kong (Asia/Hong Kong), daylight saving time included, rounded to the minute, for an open horizon at sea level.

Earliest sunset, latest sunrise

The shortest day in Hong Kong is December 22, but the earliest sunset comes on November 27, at 5:38 PM, and the latest sunrise on January 15, at 7:05 AM. This shift comes from the equation of time: around the solstices, solar noon drifts by up to half a minute a day on the clock, so sunrise and sunset do not move symmetrically.

Solar noon and time zone

Hong Kong lies at 22.32° north and 114.17° east. Its standard time, UTC+8, is set on the 120° east meridian, so the sun reaches its highest point in Hong Kong about 23 minutes later than on that meridian. Over the year, solar noon falls between 12:07 PM (November 3) and 12:38 PM (February 10) on the clock.

Daylight saving time

Hong Kong does not change its clocks (UTC+8 all year), so sunrise and sunset move only with the seasons: sunrise by 1 h 27 min and sunset by 1 h 33 min over the year.

Height of the sun and twilight

At solar noon the sun climbs to 90.0° above the horizon on June 3, almost straight overhead, and only 44.2° on December 22. Civil twilight, from first light to sunrise, lasts about 22 minutes at the March equinox and 25 minutes in late June. The day length changes fastest around March 20: 1 min 18 s more each day.

The sky gets fully dark every night of the year: even in midsummer, the sun sinks more than 18° below the horizon.
