Colombo is located at 6.93°N, 79.85°E. Its latitude determines how dramatically daylight hours change through the year.
The city uses the Asia/Colombo timezone (GMT+5:30). It does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so solar times shift gradually through the year without abrupt clock changes.
Solar noon — the moment the sun reaches its highest point in the sky — occurs when the sun crosses the local meridian. In Colombo this falls around 12:09 in mid-summer and 12:00 in December, reflecting UTC offset and any DST adjustments.
