World Clock

The time right now in the places you choose, updated every second, with each place’s date, offset from UTC, daylight saving state and next clock change. What you type stays in your browser.

Times come from this device’s clock. If the device’s clock is wrong, these times are too.

    The time in several places at once

    Calling family abroad, joining a call with a colleague in another country, or watching a game that kicks off overseas all start with the same question: what time is it there? This world clock shows the current time in every place you add, updating every second, with the details that catch people out: the date, the offset from UTC, and whether daylight saving time is on.

    How to use it

    1. New York, London, Paris and Sydney are on the list to start with. Remove any you don’t need with the × button.
    2. To add a place, start typing a city or a time-zone name such as Europe/Berlin, pick it from the list, and press Add.
    3. Press Add this device’s time zone to include your own.
    4. Tick 24-hour clock if you prefer 14:00 to 2:00 PM.

    Reading a row

    • Time and date: the date matters near midnight, when a place can already be on tomorrow or still on yesterday.
    • UTC offset: how far the place is ahead of or behind Coordinated Universal Time, for example UTC−5. A few places are offset by a half or three-quarters of an hour.
    • Abbreviation: such as EDT or BST, shown where your browser has one.
    • Daylight saving time: on, off, or not used in the next 12 months, with the date and local time of the next change and which way the clocks go.

    Places to choose from

    The list holds every time zone your browser knows, each named after a main city in it, so pick the city that shares your place’s time: for Brooklyn, choose New York. You can also type any time-zone name your browser accepts, such as America/Denver. Up to 12 places fit at once.

    Good to know

    • Your device’s clock: every time is worked out from it, so check it’s right if the times look off.
    • Daylight saving shown as on means the clocks are at the later of the two times the place uses during the year.
    • Rule changes: when a country changes its clock rules, browsers pick that up in a later update, so a very recent change may not show yet.
    • Nothing is saved: reloading the page brings back the four starting places.
    • Planning a meeting? The Time Zone Converter tries a meeting time across places, and Remote Time-Zone Overlap finds the working hours a team shares.

    Frequently asked questions

    Where do the times come from?
    From your device’s clock and your browser’s own copy of the world’s time-zone rules. Nothing is fetched from the internet, so if your device’s clock is wrong, every time on the page is wrong by the same amount.
    How is the next clock change found?
    The tool looks a year ahead in your browser’s time-zone rules, a day at a time, and pins the first change down to the minute. It shows the local date and time of the change and whether clocks go forward or back. Rules announced after your browser was last updated aren’t included.
    Why does a place show no abbreviation?
    Browsers only have abbreviations such as EDT or BST for some places. Where yours has none, the row shows the UTC offset only, which tells you the same thing: how far that place’s clock is from Coordinated Universal Time.
    Is my list of places saved?
    No. The list lives only in this page: nothing is saved, sent or put in the page address. Reloading the page brings back the four starting places, New York, London, Paris and Sydney.
