Current time in Sydney

Sydney is Australia's oldest and largest city, and one of the world's most beautiful coastal cities. Built around one of the planet's most iconic harbors, it is home to the sail-shaped Sydney Opera House and the famous Harbour Bridge. Known for its beaches, sunshine, and vibrant multicultural character, Sydney is also home to diverse communities, including a large Muslim population with a strong presence in the city's western suburbs.

Sydney follows Australian Eastern Time (AET), using UTC+10 during standard time and shifting to UTC+11 during daylight saving time. The live clock at the top of this page automatically follows these seasonal changes and updates in real time within your browser.

Located in the Southern Hemisphere at approximately 33.9° south latitude, Sydney experiences seasons opposite to those in the Northern Hemisphere. Its longest days occur around December and January, while its shortest days come around June. As a result, sunrise, sunset, and daily prayer times shift throughout the year according to this reversed seasonal cycle.

Prayer times on this page are calculated using the Muslim World League method.
