What time is it in Solomon Islands?

Solomon Islands stays on UTC+11:00 all year. Its offset from UTC never moves, so its relationship to places that do change shifts twice a year instead — which is usually why someone checks. Right now it is 11 hours ahead of UTC, and 16 hours ahead of New York.

Guadalcanal is 16 hours ahead of New York and 19 hours ahead of Los Angeles. 9am in New York is 1:00 am the next day in Guadalcanal.

To convert a specific time rather than read the current one, the converter shows both directions with the next clock change for each.

The day is 12 hours 32 minutes long in Guadalcanal, and holding steady — within a minute of yesterday’s. The sun peaks within a few minutes of twelve o’clock, so Solomon Islands’s offset fits its longitude about as closely as a whole-hour offset can.

Guadalcanal lies inside the tropics, so the sun passes directly overhead at noon twice a year — around February 24 and October 18 in 2026, when a vertical object casts almost no shadow. Nowhere outside the tropics ever sees that. The longest day is 12 hours 41 minutes and the shortest 11 hours 34 minutes, 67 minutes apart.

Solomon Islands’s offset has not moved once since 1970 — no daylight saving, and no change of zone.
