How It Works
This tool detects your browser's timezone and shows the offset from UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). It also displays the current time in both your local timezone and UTC.
Understanding time zone offsets is essential for scheduling across regions, international communication, and working with global teams.
UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It's essentially the same as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) but more precisely defined.
Time zone offsets are expressed as + or - hours from UTC: - UTC+0: London (during winter), Lisbon, Casablanca - UTC-5: New York, Toronto (during winter) - UTC+1: Paris, Berlin, Rome (during winter) - UTC+9: Tokyo, Seoul - UTC+5:30: Mumbai, New Delhi
Many regions observe daylight saving time, which changes their offset seasonally. For example, New York is UTC-5 in winter but UTC-4 in summer.
Knowing your offset is useful for: - Scheduling international meetings - Converting timestamps in software - Understanding when global events happen - Coordinating with remote teams - Setting up cron jobs and automated tasks
