How the world clock works
Each clock reads the official IANA time zone rules for its city, so daylight saving time starts and ends on the right day without any manual adjustment. Your board and favorites are stored only in this browser.
The coloured badge shows the city’s current offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Offsets change during daylight saving time — London is UTC+0 in winter and UTC+1 in summer — which is why a fixed list of offsets quickly becomes wrong.
Time zone abbreviations
Abbreviations such as EST or CET name a fixed offset, while the places that use them often switch to a summer time (EDT, CEST). Each page below shows the clock people usually mean and explains the difference:
- UTC — Coordinated Universal Time (Zulu)
- GMT — Greenwich Mean Time
- EST/EDT — US Eastern Time
- CST/CDT — US Central Time
- PST/PDT — US Pacific Time
- CET/CEST — Central European Time
- IST — India Standard Time
Time by country
Countries such as the USA, Canada and Australia span several time zones, and not every region uses daylight saving time. These pages show every zone of a country side by side:
- Time in the USA
- Time in the UK
- Time in India
- Time in Japan
- Time in China
- Time in Canada
- Time in Australia
