Current time in Adelaide, Australia
This page is a live digital clock locked to Adelaide civil time (IANA Australia/Adelaide). It is not a generic world-clock dashboard: the digits above are only for this South Australian city, including the half-hour offset from most of Australia’s east coast.
Adelaide uses Australian Central Standard Time (ACST, UTC+9:30) in winter and Australian Central Daylight Time (ACDT, UTC+10:30) in summer. When South Australia springs forward or falls back, this clock updates the offset automatically—you do not type a UTC number.
Keep this tab open if you need the seconds to keep moving while you plan a call with Sydney or Beijing. To line Adelaide up next to other cities, open the world-clock hub; stay here when you only need Adelaide local time.
