International time zones - US time zones - Current local time

Travel tools > World clock - International time zones

The table below displays the current local time in major cities around the world. By clicking on each city you can find out more information and details. Time zones are divided into standard and daylight saving (or summer). Daylight saving time zones (or summer time zones) include an offset (typically +1) for daylight saving time. Standard time zones (Winter Time zones) can be defined by geometrically subdividing the Earth's spheroid into 24 lunes (wedge-shaped sections), bordered by meridians each 15° of longitude apart. The local time in neighboring zones would differ by one hour. However, political boundaries, geographical practicalities, and convenience of inhabitants can result in irregularly-shaped zones. In a few regions, half-hour or quarter-hour differences are in effect.

Daylight Saving Time (DST) / Summer Time is taken into account for all time calculations on this site.

Many countries, or even parts of countries, adopt daylight saving time (also known as Summer Time) during part of the year. This typically involves advancing clocks by an hour near the start of spring and adjusting back in autumn. Russia has eleven time zones, including Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea. France also has eleven time zones including those of France, French Guiana and numerous islands, inhabited and uninhabited. The United States has ten time zones (nine official plus that for Wake Island and its Antarctic stations). Australia has nine time zones (one unofficial and three official on the mainland plus four for its territories and one more for an Antarctic station not included in other time zones). The United Kingdom has eight time zones for itself and its overseas territories.Canada has six official time zones.

About US time zones

Time in the United States is divided into nine standard time zones, with most of the United States observing daylight saving time for part of the year. Time zones are: Atlantic Standard Time (AST), Eastern Standard Time (EST), Central Standard Time (CST), Mountain Standard Time (MST), Pacific Standard Time (PST), Alaskan Standard Time (AKST), Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time (HST), Samoa standard time (SST) and Chamorro Standard Time (ChST).

Note: Daylight Saving Time began on March 8, 2009, and returns again to Standard Time November 1, 2009. Arizona and Hawaii use standard time throughout the year. However the Navajo Nation observes DST throughout its entire territory, including the portion that lies in Arizona. But the Hopi Nation, which is entirely surrounded by the Navajo Nation, does not observe DST.
