Current time in Reykjavik, Iceland right now
It is 3:17 am in Reykjavik, Iceland 🇮🇸 right now, on Sunday, September 27, 2026. The city keeps Atlantic/Reykjavik, which is GMT at UTC+0, so Reykjavik is on UTC itself, where it is 3:17 am. The sun rose in Reykjavik at 7:25 am and sets at 7:11 pm, which is 11 hours 46 minutes of daylight.
What time is it in Reykjavik right now?
The time in Reykjavik, Iceland is 3:17 am, 03:17 on a 24 hour clock, on Sunday September 27, 2026. The reading above ticks from your own device against the Atlantic/Reykjavik rules, so it stays right through a clock change rather than drifting an hour out twice a year.
Reykjavik sits at 64.15 degrees north and 21.94 degrees west, just short of the Arctic Circle and 7,133 km from the equator. Its clock is set to a zone whose nominal meridian is 0.0 degrees east, and the city itself is 21.9 degrees west of that line. Those 21.9 degrees are worth 87 minutes 46 seconds of sun time, which is most of why solar noon here lands at 1:19 pm rather than on the stroke of twelve.
Reykjavik time zone and UTC offset
The IANA zone for Reykjavik, Iceland is Atlantic/Reykjavik. Right now it is running at UTC+0 and the abbreviation in force is GMT. Reykjavik does not change its clocks at any point in the year. The offset stays at UTC+0 in January and in July alike, so no conversion involving Reykjavik ever needs a seasonal footnote.
Daylight hours in Reykjavik today
The sun rose in Reykjavik at 7:25 am and sets at 7:11 pm, which is 11 hours 46 minutes of daylight. Solar noon, the instant the sun stands at its highest over Reykjavik, is at 1:19 pm, which is 79 minutes after clock noon. The sun's declination today is -1.77 degrees, so at this latitude it reaches about 24.1 degrees above the horizon at its highest, to the south.

Where Reykjavik 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.

Other cities in Iceland
Reykjavik is the only city we cover in Iceland, 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 Atlantic/Reykjavik time
Reykjavik is the only city in our catalogue on Atlantic/Reykjavik. Other cities may share its UTC+0 offset today without sharing its rules, which is the distinction that matters the moment a clock change comes round.
Moon phase over Reykjavik tonight
The moon is a waning gibbous tonight, 16.0 days into its cycle and about 98% lit. The next full moon falls on October 26, 2026 at 4:11 am Reykjavik time, and the next new moon on October 10, 2026 at 3:49 pm. Both are the same instant everywhere on Earth, printed here on the Reykjavik clock, which is why the calendar date can differ from the one a reader further east or west sees.
When the clocks change in Reykjavik
There is no clock change scheduled in Atlantic/Reykjavik within the next 400 days, so Reykjavik stays at UTC+0 for the whole of that stretch.
That makes Reykjavik 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 Reykjavik is from other cities
Great-circle distance, computed from the coordinates rather than road mileage. The nearest city we cover to Reykjavik is Aberdeen, United Kingdom at 1,323 km, and the furthest is Dunedin, New Zealand at 17,843 km, which is 89% of the way to being exactly opposite.
| City | km | miles | Direction | Their time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aberdeen, United Kingdom | 1,323 | 822 | south east | 4:17 am |
| Glasgow, United Kingdom | 1,339 | 832 | south east | 4:17 am |
| Dundee, United Kingdom | 1,340 | 833 | south east | 4:17 am |
| Edinburgh, United Kingdom | 1,374 | 854 | south east | 4:17 am |
| Belfast, United Kingdom | 1,389 | 863 | south east | 4:17 am |

The antipode of Reykjavik
Dig straight through the centre of the Earth from Reykjavik, Iceland and you come out at 64.15 degrees south, 158.06 degrees east. That point is in the Southern Ocean. The nearest city in our catalogue to it is Dunedin, New Zealand, 2,172 km away from the antipode itself, where the clock currently reads 4:17 pm on Sunday.
The antipode is worked out by flipping the latitude across the equator and swinging the longitude a half turn: 64.15 degrees north becomes 64.15 degrees south, and 21.94 degrees west becomes 158.06 degrees east. Two thirds of the planet is ocean and the land is unevenly spread, so most antipodes are open water: Reykjavik is no exception. The local time at the antipode runs close to UTC+12, roughly twelve hours from Reykjavik, because a half turn of longitude is a half turn of the day.
Sunrise and sunset in Reykjavik
Today the sun rises in Reykjavik at 7:25 am and sets at 7:11 pm, giving 11 hours 46 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 Reykjavik.

Sun and moon in Reykjavik today
The sun is up in Reykjavik for 11 hours 46 minutes today, from 7:25 am to 7:11 pm. The moon sets in Reykjavik at 8:53 am and comes up again at 6:32 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 Reykjavik |
|---|---|
| Astronomical dawn | 4:37 am |
| Nautical dawn | 5:40 am |
| Civil dawn | 6:37 am |
| Sunrise | 7:25 am |
| Solar noon | 1:19 pm |
| Sunset | 7:11 pm |
| Civil dusk | 7:58 pm |
| Nautical dusk | 8:55 pm |
| Astronomical dusk | 9:58 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 Reykjavik | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Morning blue hour | 6:37 am to 6:56 am | 0h 19m |
| Morning golden hour | 6:56 am to 8:29 am | 1h 33m |
| Evening golden hour | 6:07 pm to 7:40 pm | 1h 33m |
| Evening blue hour | 7:40 pm to 7:58 pm | 0h 18m |
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 Reykjavik |
|---|---|
| Moonrise | 6:32 pm |
| Moonset | 8:53 am |
| Phase | waning gibbous, waning |
| Illumination | 99% of the disc lit |
| Moon age | 16.4 days since the new moon |
| Distance | 376,500 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 Delhi are 12 hours 30 minutes apart, which is more than the eight hour working day leaves room for. The closest is 3 of 5: from 9:00 am in Reykjavik it is working hours in Reykjavik, 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 Reykjavik
Seven days from September 27, 2026, computed for Reykjavik, Iceland at 64.15 degrees north, 21.94 degrees west, on the clock of Atlantic/Reykjavik. 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 Reykjavik, Iceland, 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 Reykjavik
From Reykjavik, Iceland the qibla is 106.1 degrees on a true compass, which is east-southeast, or 16.1 degrees south of due east. The Kaaba is 6,518 km away, 4,050 miles, measured over the surface of the Earth.
That figure is the initial bearing of the great circle from Reykjavik, Iceland 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 Reykjavik, Iceland 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 Reykjavik clock on your site
A live clock showing the current time in Reykjavik, Iceland, ready to paste into any page that accepts HTML. It reads Atlantic/Reykjavik from the time zone database, so it stays right when Reykjavik changes its clocks, and it shows GMT 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.
