About time in Sydney

Sydney keeps Atlantic Daylight Time, UTC−3 from UTC at the moment. Clocks move twice a year, so the same wall-clock time is a different instant in summer and winter — this page reads the offset in force today rather than an average.

Offsets and daylight saving rules come from the IANA time zone database — see IANA time zone notes for what that data does and does not promise about future dates.
