Darwin is located at 12.46°S, 130.84°E. Its latitude determines how dramatically daylight hours change through the year.
The city uses the Australia/Darwin timezone (GMT+9:30). 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 Darwin this falls around 12:45 in mid-summer and 12:36 in December, reflecting UTC offset and any DST adjustments.
