Standard time (no daylight saving time now). Next clock change: Sunday, March 14, 2027: at 2:00 AM clocks go forward 1 hour to 3:00 AM.

The zone and its rules come from the IANA Time Zone Database built into your browser (IANA). To compare with another place, use the time zone converter.

Each city’s offset includes daylight saving time where it applies today. Our homepage lists every place that is already on tomorrow’s date or still on yesterday’s.

UTC: the time every clock is set from

Coordinated Universal Time, UTC, is the reference for civil time worldwide. It is based on International Atomic Time and adjusted by leap seconds to stay within 0.9 seconds of UT1, the time scale set by the Earth’s rotation; UTC has been 37 seconds behind atomic time since January 1, 2017 (NIST, IERS). National laboratories each keep their own realization, such as UTC(NIST) in the United States, and distribute it by radio and over the internet.

Time servers send UTC, not local time. NIST’s servers always send Coordinated Universal Time, and an offset has to be applied to get local time (NIST). Your operating system does that with your time zone’s offset and daylight saving rules. This page works the same way: the instant comes from your device, checked against our server, and the local time from your zone’s rules.

Time zones

A time zone is a region that keeps the same local time, defined by its offset from UTC and its daylight saving rules. Most offsets are whole hours, but some are not: India uses UTC+5:30 and Nepal UTC+5:45, and the offsets range from UTC−12, used by no inhabited place, to UTC+14 in Kiribati’s Line Islands. Governments change their rules from time to time, and the IANA Time Zone Database records every change, past and announced, for software everywhere to use (IANA).

Zones are named after a representative city, like America/New_York or Asia/Kolkata, rather than by abbreviations, which are ambiguous: the database itself uses CST for both US Central Standard Time and China Standard Time, and IST for both India and Israel. That is why this page names your zone by its database name as well as its abbreviation.

Daylight saving time

In the United States, daylight saving time begins at 2:00 AM on the second Sunday in March, when clocks skip to 3:00 AM, and ends at 2:00 AM on the first Sunday in November, when the hour from 1:00 to 2:00 AM is repeated (15 U.S.C. 260a). These dates were set by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and first used in 2007. A state may stay on standard time all year: DST is not observed in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Arizona, except the Navajo Nation (NIST).

Other countries choose their own dates, and in the southern hemisphere the summer clock change falls between October and April. The next change for your zone is shown above; on a change day, the time zone converter warns about local times that are skipped or happen twice.

Questions about the time

Is 12 AM midnight or noon?

12:00 AM is midnight, the start of a new day, and 12:00 PM is noon. Because the labels confuse people, schedules and legal documents often write “12 noon” and “12 midnight”, or use the 24-hour clock: 00:00 for the midnight that starts a day and 12:00 for noon.

What time zone am I in?

This page reads it from your device and names it at the top, with its offset from UTC. If it is not where you are, your device’s time zone setting is wrong; turning on automatic time zone usually fixes it.

When do the clocks change in the United States?

Daylight saving time begins at 2:00 AM local time on the second Sunday in March, when clocks jump to 3:00 AM, and ends at 2:00 AM on the first Sunday in November, when they go back to 1:00 AM (15 U.S.C. 260a). Hawaii, most of Arizona and the US territories do not change.

What is the difference between UTC and GMT?

UTC, Coordinated Universal Time, is the atomic time scale the world’s clocks are set from, kept within 0.9 seconds of the Earth’s rotation by leap seconds. GMT, Greenwich Mean Time, is what the United Kingdom calls its winter time, UTC+0, so in winter the two show the same time. In summer the UK switches to British Summer Time, UTC+1.

How accurate is this clock?

The page compares your device clock with our server’s clock, which synchronizes with internet time servers, and allows for the time the request took. If the two differ by more than two seconds it says so and shows the corrected time; network delays limit the check to a few tenths of a second.
