Local time in Singapore (Asia/Singapore), daylight saving time included, rounded to the minute, for an open horizon at sea level.
Earliest sunset, latest sunrise
The shortest day in Singapore is December 21, but the earliest sunset comes on November 5, at 6:50 PM, and the latest sunrise on February 9, at 7:17 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
Singapore lies at 1.35° north and 103.82° east. Its standard time, UTC+8, is set on the 120° east meridian, so the sun reaches its highest point in Singapore about 65 minutes later than on that meridian. Over the year, solar noon falls between 12:48 PM (November 3) and 1:19 PM (February 10) on the clock.
Daylight saving time
Singapore does not change its clocks (UTC+8 all year), so sunrise and sunset move only with the seasons: sunrise by 31 min and sunset by 31 min over the year.
Height of the sun and twilight
At solar noon the sun climbs to 89.9° above the horizon on March 24, almost straight overhead, and only 65.2° on December 22. Civil twilight, from first light to sunrise, lasts about 21 minutes at the March equinox and 23 minutes in late June. The day length changes fastest around April 15: 5 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.
Close to the equator, the day length barely changes: only 9 min between the longest and shortest days. Sunrise and sunset still drift by 31 min over the year, mostly because of the equation of time.
