About Singapore Standard Time (SGT / UTC+8)

Singapore operates on Singapore Standard Time (SGT), which is 8 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+8) year-round. Because Singapore is located just 1.35° north of the equator, daylight hours remain remarkably consistent throughout the year (sunrise around 6:50–7:15 AM and sunset around 6:50–7:15 PM), and Singapore does not observe Daylight Saving Time.
