About UTC+9

UTC+9 is 9 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time: when it is noon UTC, it is 9:00 PM at UTC+9.

9 zones keep UTC+9 all year, covering 8 countries or territories: South Korea, Japan, Australia, North Korea, Indonesia, Russia, Timor Leste and Palau.

For a fixed offset in software, tzdata provides Etc/GMT-9; note the inverted sign of these POSIX-style names.

Abbreviations for UTC+9: WIT (Eastern Indonesia Time), HKST (Hong Kong Summer Time), JST (Japan Standard Time), KST (Korea Standard Time), AWDT (Australian Western Daylight Time).

UTC+9 and the sun

Across the large cities that keep UTC+9 all year, the clock runs 37 minutes behind mean solar time in Kushiro (144.4°) and 86 minutes ahead of it in Chita (113.5°). The offset’s own meridian is 135° east: the further a city lies from it, the further its clocks drift from the sun.

Neighbouring offsets: UTC+8:45 (Eucla) and UTC+9:30 (Darwin).

Zones that moved to or from UTC+9 since 1970
