Kuala Lumpur in 2026: the sun's extremes #
- Day length hardly moves: the longest day (12 h 18 min) is only 22 minutes longer than the shortest (11 h 56 min). Only 7 of the 291 cities on Plain Almanac have a steadier year.
| Longest day | 21 June - 12 h 18 min |
|---|---|
| Shortest day | 22 December - 11 h 56 min |
| Earliest sunrise | 06:56 (20 October – 6 November) |
| Latest sunrise | 07:27 (31 January – 13 February) |
| Earliest sunset | 18:56 (2 – 14 November) |
| Latest sunset | 19:28 (17 – 18 February) |
| Solar noon on the clock | 12:56 (29 October) to 13:27 (3 February) |
| Fastest change in day length | gaining under a minute a day, around 29 March |
| Clock changes | none in 2026 |
| Same clock as Singapore | 310 km to the south-east; the sun is 9 minutes later in Kuala Lumpur |
Times are local clock times for 2026, to the minute; where several days share the extreme minute, all of them are listed, because the method is good to about a minute.

Computed for sunrise in this city from the positions of the Sun and Moon (Meeus lunar theory, Lahiri ayanamsa); tithi and nakshatra end times are accurate to about two minutes. Each festival is dated by the rule for its rite - the tithi running here at sunrise, midday, dusk, midnight or moonrise - so a local temple calendar can differ by a day.
