🇮🇩 ジャカルタ

Jakarta is the capital of Indonesia, with around 8.5 million residents near 6 degrees south of the equator. Lying just within the Southern Hemisphere tropics, it sees little seasonal variation in day length. The city keeps Western Indonesia Time at UTC+7 and does not observe daylight saving, so its clocks remain seven hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time throughout the year. Indonesia spans several time zones across its archipelago, and Jakarta anchors the westernmost band. Because the offset is fixed and the city sits close to the equator, both its clock relationship to other regions and its daily rhythm of sunrise and sunset stay remarkably steady across the calendar.
