About the time in Te Anau
Sunrise today lands at 07:38 and sunset at 06:06 local time, giving 10h 27m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-45.42, 167.72) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Te Anau.
Te Anau runs on Pacific/Auckland, which puts the city UTC +12 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 Pacific/Auckland is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Pacific/Auckland keeps pointing at Auckland time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
