Sydney to Adelaide: the time difference

On 2026-10-05 at 9:00 AM in Sydney, it is 8:30 AM in Adelaide (Monday, October 5, 2026). Adelaide is 30 minutes behind of Sydney.

Sydney’s summer is the northern hemisphere’s winter. Its daylight-saving changes can move in the opposite direction from those in North America, making a single year-round difference unreliable. Adelaide has a half-hour base offset and observes a southern-hemisphere clock change. It differs from both Perth and Sydney, even though all three cities are in Australia.
