Melbourne follows Australia/Melbourne and observes daylight saving during part of the southern year. When arranging a call or trip with the northern hemisphere, remember that the seasons are reversed and daylight-saving dates can differ.

Prayer times here use the Muslim World League method. For congregational prayer, follow a nearby mosque’s announcement.

00 — Overview

Time & prayer in Melbourne

Local time in Melbourne falls within the Australia/Melbourne 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 37.8° in the southern hemisphere, Melbourne's day length varies clearly between the long days of summer and the shorter days of 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 Melbourne are calculated using the Muslim World League. The five daily prayers track the sun, so each one drifts a little earlier or later as the seasons turn. For the full picture you can open the monthly timetable, the live prayer clock, or the Qibla direction for Melbourne from the tools on this site.
