Today's local times
Event	Time
Astronomical twilight begins (Sun 18° below the horizon)	05:42
Nautical twilight begins (12° below)	06:06

Solar noon	12:53

Dawn and dusk are not instant. Today in Singapore, civil twilight begins 21 minutes before sunrise, so it is already light enough to walk outdoors at 06:30, and it fades about 21 minutes after sunset. Close to the tropics twilight is short, because the Sun sinks almost vertically. Photographers often plan around the hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset, when the light is warm and soft, and drivers, cyclists and runners can use these times to know when to switch on lights.

Where these times come from

All times are calculated astronomically for Singapore (1.35° N, 103.82° E) and shown in the local time zone (Asia/Singapore, UTC+8). Sunrise and sunset refer to the moment the upper edge of the Sun touches the horizon, already counting atmospheric refraction. They refer to the reference city; other cities in Singapore differ by a few minutes for every degree of longitude (about 4 minutes per degree) and by their latitude. In countries that span several time zones, the local clock times can differ a lot. Values are accurate to within about a minute.
