What time zone is Adelaide in?

If you need the offset: Adelaide is on ACDT, 10 hours 30 minutes ahead of UTC, i.e. UTC+10:30. The matching IANA zone is Australia/Adelaide.

One date to watch: Sunday, 04 April 2027. That is when Adelaide goes back 1 hour onto ACST — recurring meetings set before then will land an hour out unless the calendar handles zones properly.

Bear in mind Australia spans 7 zones across the 50 cities we cover — checking a second city in the same country is often necessary.
