How to convert time zones
- Choose the date and time in the original time zone. It starts with your current local time.
- Pick the time zone you're converting from and the one you're converting to. You can search the lists by typing a city name.
- The converted time, the date and the difference in hours appear instantly, along with the time in major cities.
Common time differences
Differences change during the year because countries switch to daylight saving time on different dates. For example, London is usually 5 hours ahead of New York, but for a few weeks in March and in October/November the gap is only 4 hours, because the US and Europe change their clocks on different weekends. This converter always uses the correct offsets for the date you pick.
