Current Time in Perth

About time in Perth

Perth runs on Australian Western Standard Time, a steady UTC+8 offset, and Western Australia does not use daylight saving. The state experimented with seasonal clock changes in the past but ultimately stuck with a fixed offset, so the clock here stays constant all year. This places Perth two hours behind the eastern states in winter and three hours behind once they begin daylight saving. Sharing UTC+8 with Singapore and Beijing, Perth aligns neatly with major Asian business hubs.

Perth does not make seasonal clock changes under its current rules. Its offset is UTC+8 (no DST). The live clock above reads Perth's local time directly from the IANA time zone database in your browser, using the rules installed on your device.

Daylight in Perth through 2026

Perth sits at about 31.9°S, 115.9°E. The longest day of 2026 is December 17, with 14h 14m between sunrise and sunset. The shortest is June 20, with 10h 03m, a difference of 4 h 11 min. At this latitude the seasons change day length noticeably but not dramatically, so the working day has usable daylight all year.

Because Perth is in the Southern Hemisphere, its long days fall in December and January and its short days in June. The earliest sunrise comes around November 29 (05:03) and the latest sunset around January 3 (19:26).

Solar noon, when the sun is highest, falls at about 12:23 local time in late March, 12:18 in late June and 12:14 in late December. In standard time the sun is highest at about 12:17 on average, close to 12:00, so the clock and the sun are well aligned in Perth.
