World Clock

Last reviewed: 2026-09-22

The current time in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and in 12 of the world's major cities, from Los Angeles to Sydney, updated every second. Each row also shows the city's date, its offset from UTC, and whether daylight saving time is in effect there right now - so you can plan a call, a meeting or a trade without doing time zone math in your head.

Times update every second. Daylight saving time changes are applied automatically for each city.

How it's worked out

Every city in the table is linked to its official time zone from the IANA time zone database - the same database used by operating systems, phones and browsers worldwide. The tool never hard-codes an offset or a daylight saving date: your browser (and our server, for the first view) look up the current rules for each zone and apply them. That is why switches to and from summer time happen automatically, on the right day for each country, including when a country changes its rules - for example, Iran stopped using daylight saving time in 2022.

The UTC offset column shows how many hours (and, for places like Tehran or Mumbai, minutes) a city is ahead of or behind UTC at this moment. The summer time column shows one of three states: in effect, not in effect right now (the city uses summer time, but not today), or not used at all.

At the top, the tool also shows your own device's time zone and local time, so you can compare it directly with the cities below.

Worked example

On a day in late September, when it is 12:00 noon in Berlin (summer time, UTC+2), it is 3:00 in Los Angeles (UTC−7), 6:00 in New York (UTC−4), 11:00 in London (UTC+1), 13:00 in Moscow (UTC+3), 13:30 in Tehran (UTC+3:30), 14:00 in Dubai (UTC+4), 15:30 in Mumbai (UTC+5:30), 18:00 in Shanghai (UTC+8), 19:00 in Tokyo (UTC+9) and 20:00 in Sydney (UTC+10). A few weeks later the picture changes: Sydney moves to summer time (UTC+11) in early October, and Europe and North America return to standard time at the end of October and early November - the table follows all of these changes by itself.

Frequently asked questions

Why do some cities show "not used" for daylight saving time?

Because they do not change their clocks at all. Tokyo, Shanghai, Mumbai, Dubai, Moscow and Tehran keep the same offset from UTC all year, so they never switch to summer time.

Why does Sydney switch to summer time when Europe switches back?

Sydney is in the southern hemisphere, where summer falls between October and April. Australia's summer time therefore starts in early October and ends in early April - roughly the opposite of Europe and North America.

How accurate are the times shown?

The times come from your own device's clock, formatted for each time zone by your browser. If your device clock is correct (most phones and computers set it automatically from the internet), the table is accurate to the second.

What is UTC, and is it the same as GMT?

UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the worldwide reference time that every time zone is defined relative to. For everyday purposes it is the same as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). London uses GMT/UTC in winter and UTC+1 (British Summer Time) in summer.
