Accurate local clocks

Each city clock uses the time-zone database built into your browser and updates every second.

When to use this tool

Use World Time to check current local time across popular cities without manually calculating offsets. It is useful for calls, travel, remote work, and international scheduling.

How the result is calculated

City clocks rely on IANA time-zone identifiers in the browser. That means the displayed offset can change automatically when a location enters or leaves daylight saving time.

Worked example

New York and London are often five hours apart, but there are parts of the year when the difference temporarily changes because the United States and United Kingdom switch daylight saving time on different dates.

What to keep in mind

Time-zone laws can change. For critical travel or legal schedules, confirm the local time with an authoritative source close to the event date.
