Time Zone Converter
Compare the current time across cities around the world.
The time zone converter shows the current local time in cities around the world, side by side and updating live. Each city card displays the time, date, UTC offset and a time-of-day label — morning, afternoon, evening or night — with a matching colour. A “best meeting window” banner highlights the hours when everyone is between 9am and 6pm, so scheduling across continents is effortless.

- Read each city's local time, date and UTC offset at a glance.
- Use the colour and label to see whether it's morning, afternoon, evening or night there.

Frequently asked questions
How is the local time worked out?
Each city's current time is derived from its time zone, including daylight-saving rules, so the clocks match the real local time right now.
What is the best meeting window?
It's the overlap where every listed city is within 9am–6pm local time. If no such overlap exists, the banner says the spread is too wide.
Does it handle daylight saving time?
Yes. Offsets reflect each zone's current daylight-saving status, so a city may shift by an hour at the start or end of its DST period.
What do the card colours mean?
Each card is tinted by time of day — warm tones for morning and afternoon, cooler tones for evening and night — for an instant visual read.
Which time zone is the base?
The first city (New York) is marked as the base, and the meeting window is expressed in that city's local hours.
