About the time in Rate
Sunrise today lands at 06:12 and sunset at 06:05 local time, giving 11h 52m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-8.54, 118.56) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Rate.
Rate runs on Asia/Makassar, which puts the city UTC +8 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
The zone identifier Asia/Makassar is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Asia/Makassar keeps pointing at Makassar time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
