How Time Zones Work

The world is divided into roughly 24 time zones, each generally offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) by a set number of hours. Some countries use half-hour or 45-minute offsets, and many regions shift their clocks for Daylight Saving Time during part of the year.

Why Meeting Times Get Confusing

Daylight Saving Time changes don't happen on the same dates everywhere, and some countries don't observe it at all. This means the time difference between two cities can shift by an hour at different points in the year, which is why this converter calculates live using each city's actual time zone rules rather than a fixed offset.

Finding Overlapping Working Hours

When scheduling across time zones, look for hours where both locations fall within a typical 9amโ€“6pm workday. Teams spread across more than 8โ€“9 hours of time difference often need to rotate meeting times fairly, since a perfect overlap may not exist.

Does this account for Daylight Saving Time automatically?

Yes. This converter uses your browser's built-in time zone database, which automatically applies the correct Daylight Saving Time rules for the date you select in each location.

What is UTC and how is it different from GMT?

UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the modern time standard used worldwide. GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is technically a time zone rather than a standard, but in practice the two are treated as equivalent for most everyday purposes.

Why might a city show a time difference that isn't a whole number of hours?

Some regions, including India, parts of Australia, and Iran, use 30 or 45-minute offsets from UTC rather than a full hour, which can make the difference between two cities a non-whole number.
