What time is it in Ciudad del Este right now?
The time in Ciudad del Este, Paraguay is 7:38 pm, 19:38 on a 24 hour clock, on Sunday September 27, 2026. The reading above ticks from your own device against the America/Asuncion rules, so it stays right through a clock change rather than drifting an hour out twice a year.
Ciudad del Este sits at 25.50 degrees south and 54.65 degrees west, just outside the tropics and 2,836 km from the equator. Its clock is set to a zone whose nominal meridian is 60.0 degrees west, and the city itself is 5.3 degrees east of that line. Those 5.3 degrees are worth 21 minutes 24 seconds of sun time, which is most of why solar noon here lands at 11:30 am rather than on the stroke of twelve.

Moon phase over Ciudad del Este tonight
The moon is a waning gibbous tonight, 16.8 days into its cycle and about 95% lit. The next full moon falls on October 26, 2026 at 1:11 am Asuncion time, and the next new moon on October 10, 2026 at 12:49 pm. Both are the same instant everywhere on Earth, printed here on the Ciudad del Este clock, which is why the calendar date can differ from the one a reader further east or west sees.
When the clocks change in Ciudad del Este
The next change is on Sunday, October 4, 2026, 6 days from now, when the clocks in Ciudad del Este go forward 1 hour at 11:59 pm and the offset moves from UTC-4 to UTC-3.
Two things follow from that. Any standing call with Ciudad del Este shifts by an hour on that date unless the other side moves the same weekend, and every offset printed on this page is the offset for today rather than a fixed property of the city.

The antipode of Ciudad del Este
Dig straight through the centre of the Earth from Ciudad del Este, Paraguay and you come out at 25.50 degrees north, 125.35 degrees east. That point is near Naha, Japan. The nearest city in our catalogue to it is Naha, Japan, 246 km away from the antipode itself, where the clock currently reads 8:38 am on Monday.
The antipode is worked out by flipping the latitude across the equator and swinging the longitude a half turn: 25.50 degrees south becomes 25.50 degrees north, and 54.65 degrees west becomes 125.35 degrees east. Two thirds of the planet is ocean and the land is unevenly spread, so most antipodes are open water: Ciudad del Este is one of the exceptions, with dry land on the far side. The local time at the antipode runs close to UTC+8, roughly twelve hours from Ciudad del Este, because a half turn of longitude is a half turn of the day.
Sunrise and sunset in Ciudad del Este
Today the sun rises in Ciudad del Este at 5:23 am and sets at 5:37 pm, giving 12 hours 14 minutes of daylight.

Sun and moon in Ciudad del Este today
The sun is up in Ciudad del Este for 12 hours 14 minutes today, from 5:23 am to 5:37 pm. The moon sets in Ciudad del Este at 5:40 am and comes up again at 6:46 pm. The next phase is the last quarter on October 3, 2026. The moon is full, or as near to it as makes no difference, and the whole of the face turned towards us is lit.
| Sun | Time in Ciudad del Este |
|---|---|
| Astronomical dawn | 4:06 am |
| Nautical dawn | 4:33 am |
| Civil dawn | 5:00 am |
| Sunrise | 5:23 am |
| Solar noon | 11:30 am |
| Sunset | 5:37 pm |
| Civil dusk | 6:00 pm |
| Nautical dusk | 6:27 pm |
| Astronomical dusk | 6:54 pm |
Twilight is graded by how far the sun has dropped below the horizon. Civil twilight ends six degrees down, which is roughly the point at which you need a light to read outside. Nautical twilight ends at twelve degrees, when the horizon at sea stops being usable for a sextant sight. Astronomical twilight ends at eighteen degrees, which is full darkness for an observer.
| Light band | Time in Ciudad del Este | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Morning blue hour | 5:00 am to 5:09 am | 0h 09m |
| Morning golden hour | 5:09 am to 5:53 am | 0h 44m |
| Evening golden hour | 5:07 pm to 5:51 pm | 0h 44m |
| Evening blue hour | 5:51 pm to 6:00 pm | 0h 09m |
Golden hour is the stretch with the sun between six degrees above the horizon and four below it, and blue hour runs from there down to six degrees below. Neither is literally an hour: each is as long as the sun takes to cross those few degrees, which is minutes near the equator and can be most of the evening at high latitude.
| Moon | Reading in Ciudad del Este |
|---|---|
| Moonrise | 6:46 pm |
| Moonset | 5:40 am |
| Phase | waning gibbous, waning |
| Illumination | 99% of the disc lit |
| Moon age | 16.5 days since the new moon |
| Distance | 376,000 km |
Moonrise and moonset are computed to the moment the moon's upper edge touches a flat horizon, allowing for refraction, for the size of the disc and for the moon's parallax, which together put the centre of the moon at 0.125 degrees above the horizon at the instant it rises. That is a different horizon from the one sunrise uses, and it is why a moonrise time cannot be worked out with a sunrise formula.

No hour on Sunday, September 27, 2026 is inside 9 to 5 in all 5 places, so nothing is highlighted as a shared working hour. Los Angeles and Singapore are 15 hours apart, which is more than the eight hour working day leaves room for. The closest is 3 of 5: from 4:00 am in Ciudad del Este it is working hours in London, Delhi and Singapore, but outside them in Ciudad del Este and Los Angeles. A meeting across this set has to be early or late for somebody.
Prayer times in Ciudad del Este
Seven days from September 27, 2026, computed for Ciudad del Este, Paraguay at 25.50 degrees south, 54.65 degrees west, on the clock of America/Asuncion. The method is Muslim World League (Muslim World League, Mecca), which puts Fajr at 18.0 degrees below the horizon and Isha at 17.0 degrees. Asr uses the Standard shadow ratio of 1, which is the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali position.
| Date | Fajr | Sunrise | Dhuhr | Asr | Maghrib | Isha |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sunday September 27 | 4:06 am | 5:23 am | 11:30 am | 2:57 pm | 5:37 pm | 6:49 pm |

| Saturday October 3 | 3:59 am | 5:16 am | 11:28 am | 2:56 pm | 5:39 pm | 6:52 pm |
Dhuhr is solar noon at Ciudad del Este, Paraguay, the instant the Sun crosses the local meridian, so it moves with longitude inside the time zone and with the equation of time through the year rather than sitting at a fixed clock reading. Sunrise and Maghrib are the standard refracted horizon, the same 0.833 degrees every almanac uses. Every figure above is computed from the Sun's position for this exact coordinate; none of it is copied from a table.
Different methods disagree, and that is expected rather than an error. Fajr under ISNA at 15 degrees comes later than Fajr under Egyptian General Authority of Survey at 19.5 degrees, by twenty minutes or more depending on latitude and season. Follow whichever your local mosque follows.
Qibla direction from Ciudad del Este
From Ciudad del Este, Paraguay the qibla is 72.2 degrees on a true compass, which is east-northeast, or 17.8 degrees north of due east. The Kaaba is 11,439 km away, 7,108 miles, measured over the surface of the Earth.
That figure is the initial bearing of the great circle from Ciudad del Este, Paraguay to 21.4225 degrees north, 39.8262 degrees east, which is the Kaaba inside Masjid al-Haram.
The bearing is measured from true north, not magnetic north. A magnetic compass points at the magnetic pole, and the difference between the two can be anything from nothing to more than twenty degrees depending where you are, so check your compass reading against magnetic declination for Ciudad del Este, Paraguay before you use it. A phone compass set to true north, or the shadow of a vertical stick at local solar noon, avoids the problem entirely.

It reads America/Asuncion from the time zone database, so it stays right when Ciudad del Este changes its clocks, and it shows UTC-4 to every visitor wherever they are reading from. It is a plain iframe: no account, no script to install, nothing to pay.
The box needs 183 pixels of height for these settings, which is what the code above sets, and the numbers show at full size from 305 pixels of width up. Narrower than that they scale down rather than wrapping, and turning a line off makes the box shorter. The code updates with either.
