Newcastle lies at 151.8°E. Its time zone, UTC+10, is built around the 150°E meridian. The 1.8° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 7 minutes behind the sun: solar noon arrives at about 11:53 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 53 minutes and pushing solar noon to 12:53.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 14h 19m of daylight. The shortest is 22 June, with 9h 58m. The swing between them is 4h 21m. At this latitude the seasons are visible in the clock, but never dramatic.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Newcastle the sun comes up earliest on 3 October at 05:28, while the latest sunset waits until 8 January at 20:05.
