About our world clock
WorldClock.com is a free world clock that shows the exact current time in every country and major city. Your own local time is detected automatically and every clock on the page ticks live, so you can see at a glance what time it is in London, New York, Tokyo or anywhere else.
The world clock uses the official IANA time zone database – the same data used by computers and phones – so daylight saving time changes are applied automatically. The live map shows which parts of the world are in daylight or darkness, and you can switch between 12-hour and 24-hour time with one tap.
Use the world clock to plan calls and meetings across time zones, check whether it is a sensible hour to message friends and family abroad, or follow the time in a city before you travel. Open any city to see its sunrise and sunset, weather, time difference and a meeting planner, or use our time zone converter.
World clock FAQ
What is a world clock?
A world clock shows the current time in several places around the world at once. Instead of working out time differences yourself, you can see the local time in each city side by side, adjusted for its time zone and daylight saving time.
How does the world clock know my local time?
Your local time comes from your device's clock and time zone setting. WorldClock.com compares it with accurate time zone data to show the correct time in every other city.
Does the world clock adjust for daylight saving time?
Yes. Daylight saving time rules for every country are built in, so clocks change automatically on the correct dates – including Europe and North America, which switch on different days.
How many time zones are there in the world?
There are 24 hours in a day, but more than 38 different local time offsets are in use, because some places use half-hour or 45-minute offsets, such as India (UTC+5:30) and Nepal (UTC+5:45).
What is UTC?
UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the world's time standard. Every time zone is described as an offset from UTC – for example UTC+1 for Central European Time or UTC−5 for Eastern Standard Time.
