Current Time in Daegu, South Korea

How Daegu Keeps Time

Daegu keeps KST, UTC+9. The live clock normally synchronizes to the site time source and then applies the IANA rules for Daegu; until synchronization succeeds, it uses the device clock as a fallback. Daylight-saving changes are applied only where that zone actually observes them.

Daegu runs on the Asia/Seoul zone in the IANA time zone database, which is UTC+9 right now. There is no daylight saving here, so that offset holds all year and the difference to other places only changes when they move their own clocks.

The sun rises in Daegu at 6:40 am today and sets at 5:39 pm — 10 hours 59 minutes of daylight, with solar noon at 12:09 pm. Those times come from the city’s coordinates (35.87, 128.60), so they shift a little every day of the year.

On the two solstices, Daegu has about 14 hours 36 minutes of daylight in June and 9 hours 43 minutes in December. The difference is about 4 hours 52 minutes, which shows how strongly the local daylight cycle changes through the year.
