Current time and time differences for popular places

Open a direct page for a popular time zone or a frequently checked city pair. Each live result is calculated from the server clock and the server’s installed IANA time-zone rules.

Current local time

These twelve pages cover common travel, family, and remote-work questions without pretending that one city represents every zone.

Asia/Tokyo

Tokyo

Tokyo uses Japan Standard Time (JST), UTC+9, throughout the year and does not currently observe daylight saving time. Its IANA zone is Asia/Tokyo; the live server result above supplies the current local date and time.

Current time in Tokyo

America/New_York

New York

New York follows US Eastern Time. Seasonal clock changes mean its difference from Europe, Asia, and Australia is not constant all year.

Current time in New York

Europe/London

London

London alternates between Greenwich Mean Time and British Summer Time. Check the selected date instead of assuming the UK always equals UTC.

Current time in London

Europe/Paris

Paris

Paris follows Central European Time and its summer-time rules. The live result uses the exact offset that applies today.

Current time in Paris

Asia/Dubai

Dubai

Dubai uses Gulf Standard Time without a seasonal clock change. Differences with Europe and North America can still change when those regions move clocks.

Asia/Singapore

Singapore

Singapore keeps one standard offset throughout the year. It is a common anchor for finance, travel, and distributed work across Southeast Asia.

Current time in Singapore

Australia/Sydney

Sydney

Sydney uses Australian Eastern Standard Time, AEST (UTC+10), and Australian Eastern Daylight Time, AEDT (UTC+11). Under the current New South Wales rule, daylight saving starts on the first Sunday in October and ends on the first Sunday in April. The live clock above uses Australia/Sydney, so it applies today's offset and local date automatically.

America/Toronto

Toronto

Toronto uses Eastern Standard Time, EST (UTC−5), in standard time and Eastern Daylight Time, EDT (UTC−4), during daylight time. Under Ontario’s current rule, clocks change on the second Sunday in March and first Sunday in November. The live server clock above applies today’s America/Toronto offset and local date.

America/Mexico_City

Mexico City

Mexico City currently keeps Central Standard Time (UTC−6) throughout the year and has not made a seasonal clock change since the 2022 rule change. Use America/Mexico_City rather than a generic North American abbreviation when checking a date.

Current time in Mexico City

Asia/Kolkata

Delhi

Delhi uses India Standard Time through the Asia/Kolkata IANA identifier. Its half-hour offset is why mental whole-hour arithmetic often fails.

Current time in Delhi

Europe/Moscow

Moscow

Moscow currently keeps one offset through the year. The IANA identifier still matters because political time-zone rules can change over time.

Live time difference

Start with eight useful pairs. Their differences can change during the year when the two places move clocks on different dates.

London–Sydney time difference

London uses GMT (UTC+0) and BST (UTC+1); Sydney uses AEST (UTC+10) and AEDT (UTC+11). Under the current rules, the UK changes on the last Sundays in March and October, while New South Wales changes on the first Sundays in October and April. Sydney is 11 hours ahead when London is on GMT and Sydney is on AEDT, 9 hours ahead when London is on BST and Sydney is on AEST, and 10 hours ahead while both observe daylight time in the transition gaps. Thus 13:00 in London is 00:00 the next day, 22:00 the same day, or 23:00 respectively in Sydney. Verify the live local hour and date because time-zone rules can change.

London–Sydney time difference

Paris–Toronto time difference

Paris uses CET (UTC+1) in standard time and CEST (UTC+2) in summer; Toronto uses EST (UTC−5) and EDT (UTC−4). When both cities are on standard time or both are on daylight time, Paris is 6 hours ahead. Toronto currently changes on the second Sunday in March and first Sunday in November, while Paris follows the EU's last-Sunday rules in March and October. During the gaps, Toronto is already or still on daylight time while Paris is on standard time, so Paris is 5 hours ahead. Verify the live local hour and date because time-zone rules can change.

Paris–Toronto time difference

Singapore–London time difference

Singapore Standard Time is UTC+8 throughout the year. London uses GMT (UTC+0) in winter and BST (UTC+1) from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October under the current UK rule. Therefore 09:00 in London is 17:00 in Singapore during GMT and 16:00 during BST; 18:00 in Singapore is 10:00 or 11:00 in London respectively. Verify the live local hour and date because time-zone rules can change.
