Medan is located at 3.59°N, 98.67°E. Its latitude determines how dramatically daylight hours change through the year.
The city uses the Asia/Jakarta timezone (GMT+7). 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 Medan this falls around 12:24 in mid-summer and 12:15 in December, reflecting UTC offset and any DST adjustments.
