What time is it in Puerto Montt right now?

The time in Puerto Montt, Chile is 6:51 pm, 18:51 on a 24 hour clock, on Sunday September 27, 2026. The reading above ticks from your own device against the America/Santiago rules, so it stays right through a clock change rather than drifting an hour out twice a year.

Puerto Montt sits at 41.47 degrees south and 72.94 degrees west, at a middle latitude and 4,611 km from the equator. Its clock is set to a zone whose nominal meridian is 45.0 degrees west, and the city itself is 27.9 degrees west of that line. Those 27.9 degrees are worth 111 minutes 46 seconds of sun time, which is most of why solar noon here lands at 1:43 pm rather than on the stroke of twelve.

Puerto Montt time zone and UTC offset

The IANA zone for Puerto Montt, Chile is America/Santiago. Right now it is running at UTC-3 and the abbreviation in force is UTC-3. Puerto Montt is on summer time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC-3 rather than the UTC-4 it keeps in winter.

Where Puerto Montt 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 Puerto Montt and major cities

Every row below is computed at this instant, so daylight saving on either side is already in it. A positive figure means that city's clock reads later than Puerto Montt.

Best time to call Puerto Montt

Treating a working day as 9am to 6pm on both sides, this is the window the two cities genuinely share. Some of these pairs have no shared working hour at all, which is worth knowing before a meeting is proposed.

Cities on America/Santiago time

37 of our cities keep America/Santiago, so every one of them reads 6:51 pm at this moment and changes its clocks on the same night as Puerto Montt. Nearest first:

Moon phase over Puerto Montt tonight

The moon is a waning gibbous tonight, 16.8 days into its cycle and about 96% lit. The next full moon falls on October 26, 2026 at 1:11 am Santiago 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 Puerto Montt clock, which is why the calendar date can differ from the one a reader further east or west sees.

When the clocks change in Puerto Montt

The next change is on Saturday, April 3, 2027, 188 days from now, when the clocks in Puerto Montt go back 1 hour at 11:59 pm and the offset moves from UTC-3 to UTC-4.

Two things follow from that. Any standing call with Puerto Montt 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 Puerto Montt is from other cities

Great-circle distance, computed from the coordinates rather than road mileage. The nearest city we cover to Puerto Montt is Osorno, Chile at 101 km, and the furthest is Bayan Nur, China at 19,930 km, which is 100% of the way to being exactly opposite.

The antipode of Puerto Montt

Dig straight through the centre of the Earth from Puerto Montt, Chile and you come out at 41.47 degrees north, 107.06 degrees east. That point is near Bayan Nur, China. The nearest city in our catalogue to it is Bayan Nur, China, 85 km away from the antipode itself, where the clock currently reads 5:51 am on Monday.

The antipode is worked out by flipping the latitude across the equator and swinging the longitude a half turn: 41.47 degrees south becomes 41.47 degrees north, and 72.94 degrees west becomes 107.06 degrees east. Two thirds of the planet is ocean and the land is unevenly spread, so most antipodes are open water: Puerto Montt is one of the exceptions, with dry land on the far side. The local time at the antipode runs close to UTC+9, roughly twelve hours from Puerto Montt, because a half turn of longitude is a half turn of the day.

Sunrise and sunset in Puerto Montt

Today the sun rises in Puerto Montt at 7:32 am and sets at 7:54 pm, giving 12 hours 22 minutes 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 Puerto Montt.

Sun and moon in Puerto Montt today

The sun is up in Puerto Montt for 12 hours 22 minutes today, from 7:32 am to 7:54 pm. The moon sets in Puerto Montt at 7:40 am and comes up again at 9:23 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.

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.

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.

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.

Prayer times in Puerto Montt

Seven days from September 27, 2026, computed for Puerto Montt, Chile at 41.47 degrees south, 72.94 degrees west, on the clock of America/Santiago. 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.

Dhuhr is solar noon at Puerto Montt, Chile, 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 Puerto Montt

From Puerto Montt, Chile the qibla is 87.7 degrees on a true compass, which is east, or 2.3 degrees north of due east. The Kaaba is 13,431 km away, 8,345 miles, measured over the surface of the Earth.

That figure is the initial bearing of the great circle from Puerto Montt, Chile 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 Puerto Montt, Chile 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.
