Planetary Hours in Kuala Lumpur Through 2026
Kuala Lumpur is close enough to the equator that its daytime and nighttime hours stay within 3 minutes of each other all year; a daytime hour never drops below 60 minutes or passes 62.
Because Kuala Lumpur lies between the tropics, the noon Sun passes straight overhead twice a year, on Mar 29 and Sep 15.
Kuala Lumpur lies west of the meridian its clocks follow (UTC+8), so the Sun, and with it the first planetary hour, runs about 73 minutes behind the clock: noon by the Sun comes near 1:13 PM standard time.
