Perth: questions people ask

When do the days start getting longer in Perth?

The day after the June solstice, which is on June 21, 2027 at 10:11 pm Perth time. June 22 is less than a second longer, so it's hard to notice until mid-July.

Does Perth change its clocks for daylight saving time?

No. Perth stays on Australian Western Standard Time all year, so summer evenings end earlier than in places that move the clocks: the longest day's sunset is 7:22 pm. In winter the earliest sunset is 5:19 pm.

When is the earliest sunset in Perth?

June 11, 2027, at 5:19 pm. That is 10 days before the shortest day, because solar noon drifts later through June. The evenings are already a little lighter by the solstice.

When does Perth gain daylight fastest?

Around the September equinox, when it gains 1 minute, 57 seconds a day (fastest on September 30). Right after the solstice the gain is small: 22 seconds a day on July 1, and 1 minute, 23 seconds a day by August 1.
