How many hours apart are these two cities right now?
Choose a first and second city to see their current local times, which one is ahead and the difference in hours and minutes. Reference times also show what a few common hours in the first city mean in the second city. This makes it easier to decide whether calling someone now would fall in their morning, afternoon or evening.
Why today's difference may not work for a future date
Some countries move their clocks for daylight saving time and others do not. Even countries that use daylight saving may change clocks on different dates. This page describes the current difference; to check a meeting next month or a specific future day, open the Time Zone Converter and select that date.
For several live cities at once, use World Clock.
Common questions
Why can the time difference change during the year?
Some places change clocks for daylight saving time on different dates, while others do not. That can change the difference between two cities.
Can a time difference include 30 or 45 minutes?
Yes. The tool uses each city’s real UTC offset, including time zones with half-hour or 45-minute differences.
Can I use the current offset for a meeting later in the year?
Not reliably. Use a date-aware time converter for a future event, particularly around daylight-saving changes.
