What is a World Clock?

A world clock displays the current time in multiple cities and timezones simultaneously. It's essential for international communication, scheduling meetings across timezones, and understanding global time differences.

Our free world clock shows real-time updates for cities worldwide. See current time, date, day of week, UTC offset, and daylight saving time status. Compare time differences between cities and coordinate activities across the globe.

Understanding Timezones

UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)

UTC is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. All timezones are expressed as offsets from UTC (e.g., UTC+3, UTC-5). UTC itself is UTC+0.

Daylight Saving Time (DST)

Many regions adjust their clocks forward by one hour during summer months to extend daylight hours. This is called Daylight Saving Time. Not all countries observe DST, and the dates vary by region.

Time Zone Abbreviations

Common timezone abbreviations include EST (Eastern Standard Time), PST (Pacific Standard Time), GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), and CET (Central European Time). However, these can be ambiguous, so we use IANA timezone identifiers (e.g., America/New_York) for accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the world clock?

Our world clock uses your browser's time and IANA timezone database for accuracy. Times update every second and account for daylight saving time changes automatically.

What does UTC offset mean?

UTC offset shows how many hours ahead (+) or behind (-) a timezone is from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). For example, UTC+3 means the timezone is 3 hours ahead of UTC.

What is DST (Daylight Saving Time)?

Daylight Saving Time is the practice of setting clocks forward by one hour during warmer months to extend evening daylight. Not all countries observe DST, and start/end dates vary. Our clock shows DST status when applicable.

Can I compare times between cities?

Yes! Click the star (☆) icon on any city clock to set it as a reference. Other cities will then show how many hours ahead or behind they are from the reference city.

Are my selected cities saved?

Yes, your selected cities are automatically saved in your browser's local storage. They will be restored when you return to the page.

How do I find a specific city?
