What time is it in South Sudan?

South Sudan stays on UTC+2:00 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 2 hours ahead of UTC, and 7 hours ahead of New York.

Juba is 7 hours ahead of New York and 10 hours ahead of Los Angeles. 9am in New York is 4:00 pm in Juba.

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 11 hours 54 minutes long in Juba, and holding steady — within a minute of yesterday’s. The sun peaks at 11:37 am, 23 minutes before noon on the clock. A UTC offset is a promise that the sun is overhead at midday on one meridian, and Juba sits 6 minutes of solar time east of UTC+2:00’s. The rest is the equation of time, which swings about a quarter of an hour either way across the year.

Juba is close enough to the equator that the solar year barely happens: the longest day of 2026 is 12 hours 24 minutes and the shortest 11 hours 50 minutes — a swing of 34 minutes across the whole year, against more than nine hours in northern Europe. There is no long summer evening here and no dark afternoon in December; sunset lands at much the same time every day.

South Sudan has kept UTC+2:00 since Sunday, January 31, 2021, when it moved from UTC+3:00. Before that its clocks read 1 hour ahead of what they read now.
