Understanding Time Zones
Time zones are regions observing the same standard time. Most are offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) by whole hours (UTC+5, UTC-8), though some use half-hour (India at UTC+5:30) or quarter-hour offsets. The system allows noon to roughly coincide with solar noon across the globe.
Daylight Saving Time
Many regions observe DST, moving clocks forward in spring and back in fall. This changes their UTC offset seasonally. Not all countries observe DST—most tropical regions don't, as daylight hours vary little throughout the year. Our converter accounts for current DST status.
FAQ
Does this account for daylight saving time?
Yes, the converter uses your browser's time zone database, which includes current DST rules. Results reflect actual observed times for your selected date.
Why might my city not be listed?
We include major cities representing all time zone offsets. If your city isn't listed, find one in the same time zone. For example, Jakarta shares Singapore's time zone.
