World Time — Current Time in Cities
Checking the time in another city solves three typical situations: scheduling a call without messing up time zones, calculating how long until a flight arrives, and knowing whether it is the middle of the night at the destination before sending a message. Our database uses the IANA library (tz database), the same standard used by operating systems and servers — daylight saving time enters and exits automatically, without manual adjustment.
Pick a city below to see the exact time, UTC offset, daylight saving status, and cultural context about local business hours. If you need to compare several cities at once, use the interactive world clock at the bottom of the page.
Common questions about time zones
Is the time here updated in real time?
Yes. Each city clock uses your own browser time synced with the IANA time zone for that location. There is no delay or cache.
What about daylight saving changes in the destination country?
The IANA database records the exact date and time of each transition (e.g. second Sunday of March in the US). The calculation is automatic — on the day of the change, the clock jumps along with the country.
Can I compare more than one city at once?
Yes, in the interactive world clock you can build a list with as many cities as you like and see them all on the same screen.
