How to convert time zones
Choose a date and time, the city it refers to, and the city you want to convert to. The converter first works out the exact moment in UTC using the source city's rules for that date, then shows the same moment in the target city. Because daylight-saving dates differ between countries – the US, Europe and Australia all switch on different weekends – the gap between two cities can change by an hour at certain times of year.

Frequently asked questions
Does the converter handle daylight saving time?
Yes. It uses the official IANA time-zone database built into your browser, so daylight saving rules are applied automatically for the date you choose.
What is the difference between GMT and UTC?
For everyday purposes they are the same time. UTC is the precise atomic-clock standard used by computers and aviation; GMT is the time zone used in the UK in winter.
Why do some places have 30- or 45-minute offsets?
Some countries chose offsets that better match their solar time – India uses UTC+5:30 and Nepal UTC+5:45, for example.
How do I schedule a meeting across time zones?
Pick a time in your own zone, convert it to each participant's zone, and check the result falls within everyone's working hours. The world clock shows the same moment in major cities.
