About this tool

Show

Watch the current time in as many cities as you need, side by side and ticking, each labelled with its zone and its offset. Set a reference time and every clock jumps to what that moment looks like locally — the direct answer to whether a 09:00 call in Seoul lands during the working day in Berlin and San Francisco at the same time. Because the offsets are resolved for the date you pick and not for today, a meeting set three weeks out shows the offsets that will be in force then, which is exactly when Europe and North America are most likely to have changed clocks on different weekends. The offsets and daylight-saving rules come from the browser's own IANA database.

Frequently asked questions

Where do the zone names come from?

IANA tz database identifiers like Asia/Seoul or America/Los_Angeles. The browser's Intl.DateTimeFormat handles daylight-saving transitions automatically.

Why does the offset sometimes have :30 or :45?

Several places (India +5:30, Newfoundland −3:30, Nepal +5:45) use offsets that aren't whole hours. The formatter shows them as UTC±H:MM.

How does the difference work?

It's the difference between each zone's offset and your local zone at the reference time. If you're in Seoul (+9) and you compare with Los Angeles (−8 in winter), the diff is −17h.

Does it work offline?

Yes — all calculations use the browser's built-in Intl APIs, no network required after first load.

Why is London to New York 4 hours instead of 5 some weeks?

The US and the EU do not switch on the same dates. The US springs forward on the second Sunday of March and falls back on the first Sunday of November; the EU switches on the last Sundays of March and October. For roughly three weeks in March and one in late October the gap is 4 hours, not the usual 5. Because the offsets are recomputed for whatever reference time you set, picking a date inside that window shows the real gap rather than today's.

Where does the daylight-saving data come from — and can it be wrong?

From the browser's own copy of the IANA time zone database, via Intl.DateTimeFormat. Nothing is bundled with this page, so a device that has not had an OS or browser update in a while can be wrong for any country that changed its rules recently — several have moved or abolished DST on a few months' notice. For a date far in the future, or a zone whose rules were just amended, confirm against a second device before you book anything.
