About the time in Adelaide
Sunrise today lands at 06:41 and sunset at 07:24 local time, giving 12h 42m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-34.93, 138.60) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Adelaide.
Around 1,469,163 people live in Adelaide, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
The zone identifier Australia/Adelaide is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Australia/Adelaide keeps pointing at Adelaide time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
