Sunrise and sunset in Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur lies close to the equator (3.1° N), so day length barely changes: about 11 h 56 min at the December solstice and 12 h 18 min at the June solstice.
On standard time the sun is highest at about 13:13 on average — 73 minutes after 12:00 — because the clocks are set ahead of local solar time, which gives long, light evenings.
