World Clock: Real-time Cities Time Around the Globe

While the Earth Rotates, Time Flows

Whether you’re calling a friend abroad or scheduling an international business meeting, dealing with time zones can be tricky. You need to know how each city differs from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and whether they are currently observing Daylight Saving Time.

Check the current time in major cities around the world below.

Fun Facts About Time

  • UTC (Coordinated Universal Time): The primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is based on the Prime Meridian in Greenwich, London.
  • International Date Line: An imaginary line in the Pacific Ocean that marks the boundary between one calendar day and the next.
  • Daylight Saving Time (DST): The practice of setting clocks forward by one hour during warmer months so that darkness falls at a later clock time.

Accuracy is the foundation of global connection. Stay on time with Ahoxy.

Synchronicity Beyond Borders (Global Connectivity)

The earth is round, and while we sleep, someone on the other side of the planet is starting a dynamic new day. Whether it’s for business meetings, international stock investments, or calling family living far away, the first thing to check is their ‘now.’ Ahoxy’s World Clock tool supports your global workflow by perfectly calculating complex time differences and varying Daylight Saving Time rules

1. Precise Time Systems: UTC and Timezones

  • UTC (Coordinated Universal Time): The reference point for the world’s time. Every city has a time difference of ’+ or - certain hours’ based on UTC.
  • Difference between GMT and UTC: GMT is the name of the timezone based on the Greenwich Observatory in the UK, while UTC is a more precise standard based on atomic clocks

2. ☀️ Automatic Calculation of Confusing Daylight Saving Time (DST)

Daylight Saving Time shifts the clock forward by one hour during the summer to use daylight more efficiently. It can be confusing because start and end dates vary by country.

  • Automatic Sync: Ahoxy reflects the latest DST rules for each country in its database, showing you the accurate local time instantly without you having to do the math

💡 Tips for Pro Travelers and Business Professionals

Note

“Avoid the ‘Dead Zones’ When Scheduling Meetings”
Large time differences, like the 13-14 hour gap between Seoul and New York, can be challenging. Use the World Clock tool to find the ‘Golden Time’ when both parties are awake, avoiding the ‘Dead Zones’ when one side is in the middle of the night, ensuring optimal communication

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do some countries use 30-minute time differences?

Some countries, such as India and Nepal, use time differences in increments of 15 or 30 minutes due to their geographical locations or historical reasons. Ahoxy’s World Clock precisely reflects these unique time differences.

Why do I need this when I have a clock on my smartphone?

Because this tool provides an expanded capability to intuitively compare the times of multiple cities on one screen and simulate what ‘this time tomorrow’ will be for the other person
