Frequently asked questions
What is the current time in my location?
The big clock at the top uses your device's clock and time zone, so it shows the correct local time and date for where you are.
How do I see the time in another time zone?
Choose a zone from the menu. The page shows its current time, date and offset from UTC. The tables below also list the main US zones and popular cities.
What is UTC?
UTC is Coordinated Universal Time, the world standard that all time zones are measured from. For example, New York is UTC-5 in winter and UTC-4 during daylight saving time.
Does this page adjust for daylight saving time?
Yes. Times come from your browser's time zone database, which knows the daylight saving rules for each zone, including the US change on the second Sunday of March and first Sunday of November.
Why is my time off by a few seconds?
This page trusts your device clock. If your computer or phone is not syncing automatically, turn on automatic date and time in the system settings.
