Time & prayer in Kuching
Local time in Kuching falls within the Asia/Kuching zone. The clock and date at the top of this page update live to this timezone, so the readings stay accurate wherever you are.
Sitting at a latitude of about 1.6° in the northern hemisphere, Kuching's day length stays remarkably steady all year, with only small differences between summer and winter. That is why its sunrise, sunset and day-length figures change from month to month, and why prayer times here follow the position of the sun rather than a fixed clock.
The prayer times shown for Kuching are calculated using the Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM). The five daily prayers track the sun, so each one drifts a little earlier or later as the seasons turn.
