What time is it in Honduras right now? 🇭🇳

It is 3:22 am in Tegucigalpa right now, Thursday, November 5, 2026. Honduras runs on CST at UTC-6. Every reading on this page is computed from the IANA time zone database at the moment you loaded it, and the clocks above and below tick on from there.

Time in Honduras now

Honduras keeps a single time zone, America/Tegucigalpa, so there is one answer to the question and it is the same in every town: 3:22 am. The offset is UTC-6, and it never moves.

The offset from UTC in Tegucigalpa is UTC-6, which is 6 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time. Nine in the morning in Tegucigalpa is 3:00 pm UTC.

Honduras time zone in full

Each row is a zone identifier from the IANA database, its reading at this instant, its offset from UTC and whether it is currently on standard or summer time. All of them agree today, which is the usual case for Honduras.

Does Honduras have daylight saving time?

No part of Honduras moves its clocks. The offset stays at UTC-6 through the whole year, which means a difference worked out today against Honduras is still right in six months. Most of the world now works this way; the daylight saving habit is concentrated in Europe, North America and a short list of others.

A fixed offset makes Honduras an easy place to schedule against, with one caveat: the country at the other end of the call may still be moving its clocks, so the gap can change even though nothing changed here. The windows further down this page are worked out at the current instant for exactly that reason.

Where Honduras is on the map

The marker is on Tegucigalpa, the point every sun reading and every call window on this page is worked out from.

Time difference between Tegucigalpa and major cities

Worked out at this instant rather than from a stored table, so daylight saving on either side is already in it.

Best time to call Honduras

A nine to five working day in Tegucigalpa against a nine to five day elsewhere. The overlap column is the stretch when both desks are open, given on each side's own clock.

Daylight hours in Tegucigalpa today

In Tegucigalpa the sun rose at 5:45 am today and sets at 5:20 pm, giving 11 hours 35 minutes of daylight. The capital is losing 38 seconds of daylight a day at the moment, and the sun stands highest at 11:32 am.

Solar noon in Tegucigalpa is 11:32 am, which is 28 minutes before clock noon. That gap is the capital sitting at 87.19 degrees west while its clock is set to America/Tegucigalpa, plus the equation of time, which today runs 16.5 minutes ahead of mean time.

Moon phase over Tegucigalpa tonight

The moon is waning crescent tonight, 25.7 days into the current lunation, with roughly 15 percent of the disc lit. The next full moon falls on November 24, 2026 as Honduras reads the date, at 8:53 am local. The moon phase page has the full cycle.

Every IANA time zone in Honduras

These are the identifiers a computer uses. A program that stores America/Tegucigalpa rather than UTC-6 keeps working through every future rule change, which is the whole reason the database is keyed this way.

Information about Honduras

Honduras sits in North America, carries the ISO country code HN and a population of about 10,590,000. Its capital Tegucigalpa is at 14.07 degrees north, 87.19 degrees west, which is the coordinate every sunrise and solar noon on this page is computed from.

Upcoming dates in Honduras

Read on Honduras's own clock, so the day counts below start from November 5 and not from a UTC date. The list is the internationally observed calendar plus the dates common across North America, along with this country's own clock changes and the next solstices and equinoxes. National days set by a country's own statute are not included, because this site carries no statute table and a guessed one would be worse than an honest gap.

Sun and moon in Tegucigalpa today

The sun is up in Tegucigalpa for 11 hours 35 minutes today, from 5:45 am to 5:20 pm. The moon rises in Tegucigalpa at 2:36 am and sets at 2:51 pm. The next phase is the new moon on November 9, 2026. It is 13% lit at the moment, a waning crescent, thinning by about 7.1 percentage points a day.

Twilight is graded by how far the sun has dropped below the horizon. Civil twilight ends six degrees down, which is roughly the point at which you need a light to read outside. Nautical twilight ends at twelve degrees, when the horizon at sea stops being usable for a sextant sight. Astronomical twilight ends at eighteen degrees, which is full darkness for an observer.

Golden hour is the stretch with the sun between six degrees above the horizon and four below it, and blue hour runs from there down to six degrees below. Neither is literally an hour: each is as long as the sun takes to cross those few degrees, which is minutes near the equator and can be most of the evening at high latitude.

Moonrise and moonset are computed to the moment the moon's upper edge touches a flat horizon, allowing for refraction, for the size of the disc and for the moon's parallax, which together put the centre of the moon at 0.125 degrees above the horizon at the instant it rises. That is a different horizon from the one sunrise uses, and it is why a moonrise time cannot be worked out with a sunrise formula.

Prayer times in Tegucigalpa

Seven days from November 5, 2026, computed for Tegucigalpa at 14.07 degrees north, 87.19 degrees west, on the clock of America/Tegucigalpa. The method is Muslim World League (Muslim World League, Mecca), which puts Fajr at 18.0 degrees below the horizon and Isha at 17.0 degrees. Asr uses the Standard shadow ratio of 1, which is the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali position.

Dhuhr is solar noon at Tegucigalpa, the instant the Sun crosses the local meridian, so it moves with longitude inside the time zone and with the equation of time through the year rather than sitting at a fixed clock reading. Sunrise and Maghrib are the standard refracted horizon, the same 0.833 degrees every almanac uses. Every figure above is computed from the Sun's position for this exact coordinate; none of it is copied from a table.

Different methods disagree, and that is expected rather than an error. Fajr under ISNA at 15 degrees comes later than Fajr under Egyptian General Authority of Survey at 19.5 degrees, by twenty minutes or more depending on latitude and season. Follow whichever your local mosque follows.

Qibla direction from Tegucigalpa

From Tegucigalpa the qibla is 56.6 degrees on a true compass, which is east-northeast, or 33.4 degrees north of due east. The Kaaba is 13,016 km away, 8,088 miles, measured over the surface of the Earth.

That figure is the initial bearing of the great circle from Tegucigalpa to 21.4225 degrees north, 39.8262 degrees east, which is the Kaaba inside Masjid al-Haram.

The bearing is measured from true north, not magnetic north. A magnetic compass points at the magnetic pole, and the difference between the two can be anything from nothing to more than twenty degrees depending where you are, so check your compass reading against magnetic declination for Tegucigalpa before you use it. A phone compass set to true north, or the shadow of a vertical stick at local solar noon, avoids the problem entirely.
