Questions
What time zone am I in right now?
Open this page: the box at the top reads your device's time zone straight away (for example America/Chicago, Central Standard Time, UTC-6) and shows a live clock. Tap "Use my GPS location" to get the time zone of the place where you physically are, which can differ from your device setting.
Why does the page show two different time zones?
Your device clock follows a setting (often automatic, sometimes manual or set by a VPN or work profile). GPS shows where you actually are. If they differ, the page tells you so: change the time zone in your phone or computer settings to the GPS one.
Am I in daylight saving time (DST) now?
The result says whether daylight saving time is in effect at your location right now, the UTC offset, and the date of the next clock change if there is one. Arizona (except the Navajo Nation), Hawaii and most of the world's tropical regions do not change their clocks.
What are the time zones of the United States?
The contiguous US uses four: Eastern (UTC-5, UTC-4 in summer), Central (UTC-6/-5), Mountain (UTC-7/-6) and Pacific (UTC-8/-7). Alaska is UTC-9/-8 and Hawaii UTC-10 all year. A table with example states is below.
What time zone am I in by address or city?
Type a city or street address in the lookup box. The page finds its coordinates and returns the official time zone (IANA name) for that point, with the local time there.
What does UTC offset mean?
It is the difference between local time and Coordinated Universal Time. UTC-5 means local time is five hours behind UTC. The offset changes when a region starts or ends daylight saving time.
Is my location stored?
No. GPS coordinates are only sent to the Open-Meteo service (time zone lookup) and Apple Maps (place name) when you press the button. Nothing is saved on our servers.
How it works
Your browser already knows its time zone, so the first answer needs no permission and no network. When you tap the GPS button (or type an address) the coordinates go to the Open-Meteo service, which returns the IANA time zone for that point, and to Apple Maps for the place name. The offset, name, daylight saving status and next clock change are then computed in your browser from the standard time zone database. Tip: if the GPS zone and your device zone differ, your device clock is set to another region.
