Clock changes

Singapore does not change its clocks: it stays on UTC+8 (Singapore Standard Time) all year.

Sun and clock

At 103.8° east, the sun is highest over Singapore at about 1:05 pm on the winter clock — 1 hour 5 minutes after noon, because the clock runs ahead of the sun.

In mid-January the sun rises at about 7:12 am and sets at about 7:15 pm — 12 hours of daylight.

In mid-July the sun rises at about 7:05 am and sets at about 7:16 pm — 12 hours 15 minutes of daylight.

On a January weekday, 12 of the listed cities share the whole 9-to-5 day with Singapore, 128 share at least two hours and 89 share no office time at all; on a July weekday the counts are 12, 161 and 82. The furthest away on the clock in January is Honolulu (United States), 18 hours behind.
