Al Hudaydah, Yemen

Current time in Al Hudaydah, Yemen

To find Al Hudaydah time from UTC, add three hours. Thus, 15:00 UTC corresponds to 18:00 locally. The offset remains unchanged between seasons, avoiding the spring and autumn clock transitions used in some countries.

Because Yemen has a single national time zone, there is no clock change between Al Hudaydah and inland destinations such as Sana’a, Ibb, or Dhamar. International callers should check whether their own location changes offset during the year. The Red Sea may have tides, but Al Hudaydah’s clocks do not have seasonal ones.

Major urban names along the Tihama

Al Hudaydah Governorate extends along Yemen’s Red Sea coast and across part of the Tihama plain. Al Hudaydah city is its chief port and administrative centre. Other well-known towns connect agricultural districts, coastal communities, and routes leading inland.

Al Hudaydah, the principal city and port Bajil, an inland town east of the coast Zabid, a historic city on the coastal plain Bayt al-Faqih, a long-established market town Al Khawkhah, a settlement farther south on the coast

The list identifies useful regional reference points rather than claiming a current population order. Names and transliterations may differ between maps, but that spelling variation has no effect on the shared time zone.

Sunrise beside the Red Sea

On Yemen’s western coast, the Sun rises on the inland side and sets toward the Red Sea. A mathematically calculated sunrise assumes an unobstructed horizon. Actual first light may be affected by haze, clouds, buildings, vegetation, or distant relief.

The sunrise time changes across the calendar, as does the length of daylight. It also differs slightly between northern and southern parts of this elongated governorate. A value calculated for Al Hudaydah city should therefore be treated as an approximation when the intended location is a distant coastal town or inland district.

Choose the nearest named settlement in the time service. Verify that its coordinates fall inside Al Hudaydah Governorate. Use the correct local date after late-night time conversion. Check weather separately if visibility matters.

Sunrise, dawn, and first visible sunlight are related but distinct. Astronomical tools calculate events from the Sun’s position; observers experience them through local terrain and atmospheric conditions. For marine departures or outdoor work, pairing a solar calculation with a weather forecast gives a more practical picture.
