Local time in Perth (Australia/Perth), daylight saving time included, rounded to the minute, for an open horizon at sea level.
Earliest sunset, latest sunrise
The shortest day in Perth is June 21, but the earliest sunset comes on June 11, at 5:19 PM, and the latest sunrise on June 30, at 7:18 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
Perth lies at 31.95° south and 115.86° east. Its standard time, UTC+8, is set on the 120° east meridian, so the sun reaches its highest point in Perth about 17 minutes later than on that meridian. Over the year, solar noon falls between 12:00 PM (November 3) and 12:31 PM (February 10) on the clock.
Daylight saving time
Perth does not change its clocks (UTC+8 all year), so sunrise and sunset move only with the seasons: sunrise by 2 h 15 min and sunset by 2 h 8 min over the year.
Height of the sun and twilight
At solar noon the sun climbs to 81.5° above the horizon on December 22, and only 34.6° on June 21. Civil twilight, from first light to sunrise, lasts about 24 minutes at the March equinox and 27 minutes in late June. The day length changes fastest around March 15: 1 min 59 s less each day.
The sky gets fully dark every night of the year: even in midsummer, the sun sinks more than 18° below the horizon.
