About this clock
Juneau does not keep Alaska's usual time
Most of Alaska is on Alaska Standard Time, but Juneau keeps Alaska Standard Time — the same time as the rest of the state. This is the kind of thing that catches people out, and it is why the zone is resolved from the city’s own coordinates rather than assumed from the state.
Juneau is currently on standard time. The next change is Sunday, March 14, 2027, when 2:00 am becomes 3:00 am local time.
Juneau sits at 58.37°N, 134.18°W. For sunrise and sunset there — which do depend on exactly where it is, unlike the clock — see sunrise and sunset in Juneau.
Clock time against sun time
The clock says the same thing everywhere in Alaska Standard Time, but the sun does not. Over Juneau it is highest at 11:41 am today — 19 minutes before clock noon.
At 134.2°W, Juneau sits almost exactly on Alaska Standard Time’s 135° meridian, so on standard time the clock and the sun agree to within a few minutes.
