Current time in Nassau, Bahamas right now
It is 1:15 am in Nassau, Bahamas 🇧🇸 right now, on Sunday, September 27, 2026. The city keeps America/Nassau, which is EDT at UTC-4, so Nassau is 4 hours behind of UTC, where it is 5:15 am. The sun rose in Nassau at 7:00 am and sets at 7:00 pm, which is 12 hours of daylight.
What time is it in Nassau right now?
The time in Nassau, Bahamas is 1:15 am, 01:15 on a 24 hour clock, on Sunday September 27, 2026. The reading above ticks from your own device against the America/Nassau rules, so it stays right through a clock change rather than drifting an hour out twice a year.
Nassau sits at 25.06 degrees north and 77.34 degrees west, just outside the tropics and 2,786 km from the equator. Its clock is set to a zone whose nominal meridian is 60.0 degrees west, and the city itself is 17.3 degrees west of that line. Those 17.3 degrees are worth 69 minutes 22 seconds of sun time, which is most of why solar noon here lands at 1:00 pm rather than on the stroke of twelve.
Nassau time zone and UTC offset
The IANA zone for Nassau, Bahamas is America/Nassau. Right now it is running at UTC-4 and the abbreviation in force is EDT. Nassau is on summer time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC-4 rather than the UTC-5 it keeps in winter.
Daylight hours in Nassau today
The sun rose in Nassau at 7:00 am and sets at 7:00 pm, which is 12 hours of daylight. Solar noon, the instant the sun stands at its highest over Nassau, is at 1:00 pm, which is 60 minutes after clock noon. The sun's declination today is -1.83 degrees, so at this latitude it reaches about 63.1 degrees above the horizon at its highest, to the south.

Where Nassau is on the map
The marker sits at the coordinates this whole page is computed from, so the sun times, the distances and the solar noon above all belong to this exact point rather than to the wider metropolitan area.

Time difference between Nassau and major cities

Other cities in Bahamas
Nassau is the only city we cover in Bahamas, so there is no second clock in the country to compare it against here. The full city index has its neighbours across the border.
Cities on America/Nassau time
Nassau is the only city in our catalogue on America/Nassau. Other cities may share its UTC-4 offset today without sharing its rules, which is the distinction that matters the moment a clock change comes round.
Moon phase over Nassau tonight
The moon is a waning gibbous tonight, 16.1 days into its cycle and about 98% lit. The next full moon falls on October 26, 2026 at 12:11 am Nassau time, and the next new moon on October 10, 2026 at 11:49 am. Both are the same instant everywhere on Earth, printed here on the Nassau clock, which is why the calendar date can differ from the one a reader further east or west sees.
When the clocks change in Nassau
The next change is on Sunday, November 1, 2026, 35 days from now, when the clocks in Nassau go back 1 hour at 1:59 am and the offset moves from UTC-4 to UTC-5.
Two things follow from that. Any standing call with Nassau 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.
How far Nassau is from other cities
Great-circle distance, computed from the coordinates rather than road mileage. The nearest city we cover to Nassau is Miami, Florida at 297 km, and the furthest is Perth, Australia at 18,516 km, which is 93% of the way to being exactly opposite.
| City | km | miles | Direction | Their time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Miami, Florida | 297 | 184 | west | 1:15 am |
| Hollywood, Florida | 301 | 187 | west | 1:15 am |

The antipode of Nassau
Dig straight through the centre of the Earth from Nassau, Bahamas and you come out at 25.06 degrees south, 102.66 degrees east. That point is in the Indian Ocean. The nearest city in our catalogue to it is Perth, Australia, 1,499 km away from the antipode itself, where the clock currently reads 1:15 pm on Sunday.
The antipode is worked out by flipping the latitude across the equator and swinging the longitude a half turn: 25.06 degrees north becomes 25.06 degrees south, and 77.34 degrees west becomes 102.66 degrees east. Two thirds of the planet is ocean and the land is unevenly spread, so most antipodes are open water: Nassau is no exception. The local time at the antipode runs close to UTC+8, roughly twelve hours from Nassau, because a half turn of longitude is a half turn of the day.
Sunrise and sunset in Nassau
Today the sun rises in Nassau at 7:00 am and sets at 7:00 pm, giving 12 hours of daylight. The dedicated page for this city carries the month by month table, the longest and shortest days of 2026, the golden and blue hour bands at both ends of the day, and all three twilight stages: sunrise and sunset times in Nassau.

Sun and moon in Nassau today
The sun is up in Nassau for 12 hours today, from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. The moon sets in Nassau at 7:48 am and comes up again at 7:32 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 Nassau |
|---|---|
| Astronomical dawn | 5:44 am |
| Nautical dawn | 6:11 am |
| Civil dawn | 6:37 am |
| Sunrise | 7:00 am |
| Solar noon | 1:00 pm |
| Sunset | 7:00 pm |
| Civil dusk | 7:23 pm |
| Nautical dusk | 7:50 pm |
| Astronomical dusk | 8:16 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 Nassau | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Morning blue hour | 6:37 am to 6:46 am | 0h 09m |
| Morning golden hour | 6:46 am to 7:30 am | 0h 44m |
| Evening golden hour | 6:30 pm to 7:14 pm | 0h 44m |
| Evening blue hour | 7:14 pm to 7:23 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 Nassau |
|---|---|
| Moonrise | 7:32 pm |
| Moonset | 7:48 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 Nassau it is working hours in London, Delhi and Singapore, but outside them in Nassau and Los Angeles. A meeting across this set has to be early or late for somebody.
Prayer times in Nassau
Seven days from September 27, 2026, computed for Nassau, Bahamas at 25.06 degrees north, 77.34 degrees west, on the clock of America/Nassau. 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 | 5:44 am | 7:00 am | 1:00 pm | 4:25 pm | 7:00 pm | 8:12 pm |

Dhuhr is solar noon at Nassau, Bahamas, 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 Nassau
From Nassau, Bahamas the qibla is 58.3 degrees on a true compass, which is east-northeast, or 31.7 degrees north of due east. The Kaaba is 11,489 km away, 7,139 miles, measured over the surface of the Earth.
That figure is the initial bearing of the great circle from Nassau, Bahamas 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 Nassau, Bahamas 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.
Put a Nassau clock on your site
A live clock showing the current time in Nassau, Bahamas, ready to paste into any page that accepts HTML. It reads America/Nassau from the time zone database, so it stays right when Nassau changes its clocks, and it shows EDT 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.
