Daylight saving time

Modern browsers use the IANA time-zone database and automatically account for daylight-saving rules for the selected locations.

When to use this tool

Use the time-zone converter to translate a specific local date and time from one major city zone to another. It is designed for meetings, live events, deadlines, and travel planning.

How the result is calculated

The converter uses named IANA time zones rather than a fixed UTC offset, allowing the browser to account for daylight-saving rules on the selected date.

Worked example

A 3:00 PM meeting in New York can map to a different London time depending on the date because daylight-saving transitions do not always occur on the same weekend.

What to keep in mind

Ambiguous local times can occur when clocks move backward, and nonexistent local times can occur when clocks spring forward. Confirm mission-critical schedules with the event organizer.
