What time is it in Petaling Jaya right now?
The time in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia is 4:14 am, 04:14 on a 24 hour clock, on Monday September 28, 2026. The reading above ticks from your own device against the Asia/Kuala_Lumpur rules, so it stays right through a clock change rather than drifting an hour out twice a year.
Petaling Jaya sits at 3.11 degrees north and 101.61 degrees east, within eight degrees of the equator and 346 km from the equator. Its clock is set to a zone whose nominal meridian is 120.0 degrees east, and the city itself is 18.4 degrees west of that line. Those 18.4 degrees are worth 73 minutes 34 seconds of sun time, which is most of why solar noon here lands at 1:04 pm rather than on the stroke of twelve.

Moon phase over Petaling Jaya tonight
The moon is a waning gibbous tonight, 16.7 days into its cycle and about 96% lit. The next full moon falls on October 26, 2026 at 12:11 pm Kuala Lumpur time, and the next new moon on October 10, 2026 at 11:49 pm. Both are the same instant everywhere on Earth, printed here on the Petaling Jaya clock, which is why the calendar date can differ from the one a reader further east or west sees.
When the clocks change in Petaling Jaya
There is no clock change scheduled in Asia/Kuala_Lumpur within the next 400 days, so Petaling Jaya stays at UTC+8 for the whole of that stretch.
That makes Petaling Jaya an easy city to schedule against: a meeting fixed at a given hour here holds its relationship to UTC all year, and only the other end of the call can move.
How far Petaling Jaya is from other cities
Great-circle distance, computed from the coordinates rather than road mileage. The nearest city we cover to Petaling Jaya is Bandar Sunway, Malaysia at 4 km, and the furthest is Cuenca, Ecuador at 19,944 km, which is 100% of the way to being exactly opposite.

The antipode of Petaling Jaya
Dig straight through the centre of the Earth from Petaling Jaya, Malaysia and you come out at 3.11 degrees south, 78.39 degrees west. That point is near Cuenca, Ecuador. The nearest city in our catalogue to it is Cuenca, Ecuador, 71 km away from the antipode itself, where the clock currently reads 3:14 pm on Sunday.
The antipode is worked out by flipping the latitude across the equator and swinging the longitude a half turn: 3.11 degrees north becomes 3.11 degrees south, and 101.61 degrees east becomes 78.39 degrees west. Two thirds of the planet is ocean and the land is unevenly spread, so most antipodes are open water: Petaling Jaya is one of the exceptions, with dry land on the far side. The local time at the antipode runs close to UTC-4, roughly twelve hours from Petaling Jaya, because a half turn of longitude is a half turn of the day.
Sunrise and sunset in Petaling Jaya
Today the sun rises in Petaling Jaya at 7:01 am and sets at 7:07 pm, giving 12 hours 6 minutes of daylight.

Sun and moon in Petaling Jaya today
The sun is up in Petaling Jaya for 12 hours 6 minutes today, from 7:01 am to 7:07 pm. The moon sets in Petaling Jaya at 8:02 am and comes up again at 8:21 pm. The next phase is the last quarter on October 3, 2026. It is 97% lit at the moment, a waning gibbous, thinning by about 3.5 percentage points a day.
| Sun | Time in Petaling Jaya |
|---|---|
| Astronomical dawn | 5:53 am |
| Nautical dawn | 6:17 am |
| Civil dawn | 6:41 am |
| Sunrise | 7:01 am |
| Solar noon | 1:04 pm |
| Sunset | 7:07 pm |
| Civil dusk | 7:28 pm |
| Nautical dusk | 7:52 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 Petaling Jaya | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Morning blue hour | 6:41 am to 6:49 am | 0h 08m |
| Morning golden hour | 6:49 am to 7:29 am | 0h 40m |
| Evening golden hour | 6:40 pm to 7:20 pm | 0h 40m |
| Evening blue hour | 7:20 pm to 7:28 pm | 0h 08m |
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 Petaling Jaya |
|---|---|
| Moonrise | 8:21 pm |
| Moonset | 8:02 am |
| Phase | waning gibbous, waning |
| Illumination | 97% of the disc lit |
| Moon age | 17.0 days since the new moon |
| Distance | 374,400 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 Monday, September 28, 2026 is inside 9 to 5 in all 5 places, so nothing is highlighted as a shared working hour. Petaling Jaya and Los Angeles 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 pm in Petaling Jaya it is working hours in Petaling Jaya, London and Delhi, but outside them in Los Angeles and New York. A meeting across this set has to be early or late for somebody.
Prayer times in Petaling Jaya
Seven days from September 28, 2026, computed for Petaling Jaya, Malaysia at 3.11 degrees north, 101.61 degrees east, on the clock of Asia/Kuala_Lumpur. 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 |

Dhuhr is solar noon at Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, 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 Petaling Jaya
From Petaling Jaya, Malaysia the qibla is 292.6 degrees on a true compass, which is west-northwest, or 22.6 degrees south of due west. The Kaaba is 6,967 km away, 4,329 miles, measured over the surface of the Earth.
That figure is the initial bearing of the great circle from Petaling Jaya, Malaysia 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 Petaling Jaya, Malaysia 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.

A live clock showing the current time in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, ready to paste into any page that accepts HTML. It reads Asia/Kuala_Lumpur from the time zone database, so it stays right when Petaling Jaya changes its clocks, and it shows UTC+8 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.
