Your time –:–– –

The time right now, around the world

    Each bar is that city's day from midnight to midnight, shaded by where the sun really is there today. The red line is now.

    Who's awake right now

    The shaded half of the world is in night. Cities on your UTC offset are highlighted; pick another offset to compare, or open the full time zone map.

    The shaded side of the map is in night right now. Hover or tap a dot for its local time.

    How the times are worked out

    Every clock, conversion and countdown here is calculated by your own browser, using the IANA time zone database built into it — the same rules your phone and computer use. Each city follows its own zone, so the weeks when one region has changed its clocks and another hasn't come out right. Nothing you enter is sent to a server, there is no location prompt and no account; the privacy page lists every request the site makes.

    Once a page has loaded, the time zone rules are already on your device, so clocks keep ticking and converters keep working offline.

    City data comes from GeoNames, which gives each of the 34,043 places its own coordinates and time zone rather than a country-wide guess. That matters more than it sounds: the United States spans six zones, Russia eleven, and Australia splits by state, so two cities in one country can be hours apart and change their clocks on different days.

    Common questions

    Is worldclock.tools free?
    Yes — every one of the 37 tools is free, with no account, no sign-up and no paywall. There are no ads. The only third-party script is Google Analytics, used to count page views; nothing you enter into a tool is ever sent anywhere.
    How accurate are the clocks?
    Every clock and conversion is computed in your browser from your device's clock and the IANA time zone database that ships with it. That database is the same one operating systems use, so daylight-saving rules are current and each city is handled by its own zone rather than a country-wide assumption. Accuracy is therefore limited only by how well your own device clock is synchronised.
    Does the site send my data anywhere?
    Nothing you type into a tool. Every calculation runs locally in the page, there is no geolocation prompt and no account, and saved boards and preferences live in your browser's local storage rather than on a server. City search downloads the city list once as a file and searches it on your device, so what you type stays there too. The one outside service is Google Analytics, which records anonymous page views and sets its own cookies.
    How many cities are supported?
    34,043 cities across 244 countries and territories, from the GeoNames geographical database. Each carries its own coordinates and IANA time zone, so local time, daylight saving and sun times are computed from real data for the specific city rather than for its country.
    Why does the time difference between two cities change during the year?
    Because each zone follows its own daylight-saving rule and they change on different dates. New York and London are normally five hours apart but four for a couple of weeks in March, when the United States has moved its clocks and Europe has not. Between hemispheres the swing is larger still, because the two sides move in opposite directions.
    Can I use these tools offline?
    Largely, yes. Once a page has loaded, the clocks, converters and timers keep working without a connection because the computation and the time zone rules are already in your browser. Searching beyond the 1,000 largest cities needs the network once, to download the full city list.
