Current time in Tromso, Norway right now
It is 3:30 pm in Tromso, Norway 🇳🇴 right now, on Friday, September 25, 2026. The city keeps Europe/Oslo, which is CEST at UTC+2, so Tromso is 2 hours ahead of UTC, where it is 1:30 pm. The sun rose in Tromso at 6:36 am and sets at 6:34 pm, which is 11 hours 59 minutes of daylight.
What time is it in Tromso right now?
The time in Tromso, Norway is 3:30 pm, 15:30 on a 24 hour clock, on Friday September 25, 2026. The reading above ticks from your own device against the Europe/Oslo rules, so it stays right through a clock change rather than drifting an hour out twice a year.
Tromso sits at 69.65 degrees north and 18.96 degrees east, inside the Arctic Circle and 7,745 km from the equator. Its clock is set to a zone whose nominal meridian is 30.0 degrees east, and the city itself is 11.0 degrees west of that line. Those 11.0 degrees are worth 44 minutes 11 seconds of sun time, which is most of why solar noon here lands at 12:36 pm rather than on the stroke of twelve.
Tromso time zone and UTC offset
The IANA zone for Tromso, Norway is Europe/Oslo. Right now it is running at UTC+2 and the abbreviation in force is CEST. Tromso is on summer time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC+2 rather than the UTC+1 it keeps in winter.
Daylight hours in Tromso today
The sun rose in Tromso at 6:36 am and sets at 6:34 pm, which is 11 hours 59 minutes of daylight.

Moon phase over Tromso tonight
The moon is a full moon tonight, 14.4 days into its cycle and about 100% lit. The next full moon falls on September 26, 2026 at 6:48 pm Oslo time, and the next new moon on October 10, 2026 at 5:49 pm. Both are the same instant everywhere on Earth, printed here on the Tromso clock, which is why the calendar date can differ from the one a reader further east or west sees.
When the clocks change in Tromso
The next change is on Sunday, October 25, 2026, 29 days from now, when the clocks in Tromso go back 1 hour at 2:59 am and the offset moves from UTC+2 to UTC+1.
Two things follow from that. Any standing call with Tromso 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 Tromso
Dig straight through the centre of the Earth from Tromso, Norway and you come out at 69.65 degrees south, 161.04 degrees west. That point is in the Southern Ocean. The nearest city in our catalogue to it is Dunedin, New Zealand, 3,073 km away from the antipode itself, where the clock currently reads 1:30 am on Saturday.
The antipode is worked out by flipping the latitude across the equator and swinging the longitude a half turn: 69.65 degrees north becomes 69.65 degrees south, and 18.96 degrees east becomes 161.04 degrees west. Two thirds of the planet is ocean and the land is unevenly spread, so most antipodes are open water: Tromso is no exception. The local time at the antipode runs close to UTC-10, roughly twelve hours from Tromso, because a half turn of longitude is a half turn of the day.
Sunrise and sunset in Tromso
Today the sun rises in Tromso at 6:36 am and sets at 6:34 pm, giving 11 hours 59 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 Tromso.

Sun and moon in Tromso today
The sun is up in Tromso for 11 hours 59 minutes today, from 6:36 am to 6:34 pm. The moon sets in Tromso at 4:15 am and comes up again at 6:13 pm. The next phase is the full moon on September 26, 2026. It is 98% lit at the moment, a full moon, filling out by about 2.9 percentage points a day.
| Sun | Time in Tromso |
|---|---|
| Astronomical dawn | 2:42 am |
| Nautical dawn | 4:20 am |
| Civil dawn | 5:35 am |
| Sunrise | 6:36 am |
| Solar noon | 12:36 pm |
| Sunset | 6:34 pm |
| Civil dusk | 7:34 pm |
| Nautical dusk | 8:48 pm |
| Astronomical dusk | 10:23 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 Tromso | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Morning blue hour | 5:35 am to 5:59 am | 0h 24m |
| Morning golden hour | 5:59 am to 7:56 am | 1h 57m |
| Evening golden hour | 5:14 pm to 7:11 pm | 1h 56m |
| Evening blue hour | 7:11 pm to 7:34 pm | 0h 23m |
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 Tromso |
|---|---|
| Moonrise | 6:13 pm |
| Moonset | 4:15 am |
| Phase | full moon, waxing |
| Illumination | 98% of the disc lit |
| Moon age | 14.3 days since the new moon |
| Distance | 384,800 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 Friday, September 25, 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 10:00 am in Tromso it is working hours in Tromso, 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 Tromso
Seven days from September 25, 2026, computed for Tromso, Norway at 69.65 degrees north, 18.96 degrees east, on the clock of Europe/Oslo. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Friday September 25 | 2:42 am | 6:36 am | 12:36 pm | 3:14 pm | 6:34 pm | 10:04 pm |

Dhuhr is solar noon at Tromso, Norway, 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 Tromso
From Tromso, Norway the qibla is 154.3 degrees on a true compass, which is south-southeast, or 25.7 degrees west of due south. The Kaaba is 5,542 km away, 3,444 miles, measured over the surface of the Earth.
That figure is the initial bearing of the great circle from Tromso, Norway 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 Tromso, Norway 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 Tromso clock on your site
A live clock showing the current time in Tromso, Norway, ready to paste into any page that accepts HTML. It reads Europe/Oslo from the time zone database, so it stays right when Tromso changes its clocks, and it shows CEST 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.
