About the time in Sydney
Sydney is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC +11 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 4 April 2027, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
Around 191,918 people live in Sydney, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Sydney day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 22:00–06:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
