Kuching does not change its clocks; times stay on Asia/Kuching all year. How times are calculated

Kuching, the Sun and the clock

Kuching is the main city of Sarawak, home to about 400,000 people. Kuching lies 9.7° west of the 120° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 39 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:39, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests.

Kuching lies within the tropics. Around 25 March and 20 September the Sun passes straight overhead at Dhuhr, and upright objects cast almost no shadow at noon. Day length hardly changes in Kuching, from 12h 2m to 12h 13m through the year, so prayer times move only a little from season to season.

Maghrib time Kuching compared with nearby cities

Prayer times shift with longitude: about 4 minutes for every degree east or west. Here is how today's Fajr and Maghrib in nearby places compare with Kuching, calculated with the same method.
