How to use the time zone converter
- Choose the date and time in your starting city (or tap Now).
- Pick the city you are converting from and the city you are converting to.
- The result shows the local time and date there, the time difference and the same moment in other major cities.
The converter uses your browser’s built-in time zone database, so daylight saving changes are applied for the exact date you choose.
Worked example
A video call at 9:00 in New York on a winter day is at 14:00 in London, 15:00 in Berlin, 19:30 in New Delhi and 23:00 in Tokyo.
Daylight saving time
The US and Europe change their clocks on different dates, so the gap between them is not always the same:
| Clocks go forward | Clocks go back | |
|---|---|---|
| USA & Canada 2026 | 8 March | 1 November |
| Europe 2026 | 29 March | 25 October |
| USA & Canada 2027 | 14 March | 7 November |
| Europe 2027 | 28 March | 31 October |
Normally New York is 5 hours behind London. In the few weeks when only one side has changed its clocks, the difference is 4 hours – a common reason for missed meetings. Countries such as India, Japan, Pakistan and the UAE do not use daylight saving time at all, and India is offset by half an hour (UTC+5:30).
What is UTC?
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the world’s reference time. Time zones are written as offsets from it: New York is UTC−5 in winter, Berlin UTC+1, Tokyo UTC+9.
