Time, told simply.

A calendar is a way of counting the sky. The Gregorian calendar follows the sun alone, so its months drift freely from the moon. The Islamic calendar follows the moon alone: twelve lunar months add up to about 354 days, which is why its dates arrive roughly eleven days earlier each Gregorian year.

The Hebrew and Chinese calendars split the difference. They count lunar months but insert a whole extra "leap month" seven times every nineteen years, so their festivals wobble within a season but never leave it. The Persian calendar takes yet another path: purely solar, but anchored to the exact moment of the spring equinox, which makes it one of the most astronomically precise calendars in daily use.

None of these systems is wrong — they simply chose different things to be faithful to. That's why the calendars panel on Ellatime shows today in nine systems at once: the same sunrise, counted nine honest ways.

Islamic prayer times are defined by the sun's position, not the clock. Fajr begins at true dawn, when the sun climbs to about 18 degrees below the horizon and the first light appears. Dhuhr is the moment the sun crosses its highest point. Maghrib is sunset, and Isha begins when the last twilight fades — the sun 18 degrees down again.

Asr is the interesting one: it's defined by shadows. In the Standard (Shafi'i) convention, Asr begins when an object's shadow equals its own height; in the Hanafi convention, twice its height — which is why the panel shows both times side by side.

Because these are astronomical definitions, they can be computed for any point on Earth from latitude, longitude, and the date — which is exactly what this site does, on your device, with nothing sent to any server. Local mosque timetables may differ by a few minutes because different authorities round differently or use slightly different twilight angles, so always follow your local masjid for congregation.

Holidays fixed to the solar calendar — Christmas, Nowruz, Vaisakhi — land on nearly the same date every year. Holidays fixed to a purely lunar calendar, like Ramadan and both Eids, arrive about eleven days earlier each year, completing a full lap of the seasons every 33 years or so. A Ramadan in winter and a Ramadan in high summer are both normal; it just depends where in the cycle you were born.

Lunisolar holidays — Passover, Hanukkah, Diwali, Chinese New Year — move within a window of about a month but stay loyal to their season, thanks to leap months. And Easter follows its own famous rule: the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the spring equinox, calculated differently by Western and Orthodox churches, which is why the two Easters agree in some years and sit weeks apart in others.

The upcoming-holidays list on this page computes the movable dates from their actual calendars rather than copying someone's table — so when Ramadan begins or Hanukkah's first candle is lit, the countdown here is already right.

Ask "what time is it" and every device gives a slightly different answer. That's because most clocks drift — a cheap quartz watch by a second or two per week, a wall clock by more. The world's reference time, UTC, is kept by hundreds of atomic clocks that count the vibrations of caesium atoms and won't drift a second in millions of years. Your phone quietly checks in with time servers connected to those clocks, which is why it's usually the most accurate clock you own.

A clock with seconds is more useful than it looks. Seconds matter when you're logging into a system at an exact moment, timing a race, catching a ticket release, or synchronizing with someone in another country. The live clock at the top of this page shows hours, minutes, and seconds for your own time zone, updating every second, in your choice of 12-hour or 24-hour format.

And if what you really need is the time somewhere else, the world clock strip shows major cities live, and you can add any of 300+ locations to build your own board. One page, every "now" on Earth.

IST — Indian Standard Time — runs at UTC+5:30, one of the world's famous half-hour time zones. The odd offset is a compromise: India spans nearly two hours of solar time from east to west, and UTC+5:30 splits the difference so one clock can serve the entire country. Neighbouring Pakistan uses PKT, Pakistan Standard Time, at UTC+5 — so when it's 12:00 noon in Karachi or Lahore, it's already 12:30 in Delhi and Mumbai.

Neither country observes daylight saving time, so those offsets never change through the year. That makes conversion easy to memorise: India is always 5½ hours ahead of London in winter (4½ in British summer), and 9½ ahead of New York in winter. One more trap for readers abroad: "IST" also abbreviates Irish Standard Time and Israel Standard Time, so double-check which IST a schedule means.

For the exact time in India or Pakistan right now, both are one tap away in the world clock section above — and the converter tool handles any "my 3 PM is your what?" question between them and anywhere else.

The continental US runs on four main zones. Eastern Time covers New York, Washington, and Miami; Central Time covers Chicago, Dallas, and Houston; Mountain Time covers Denver and Phoenix; Pacific Time covers Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle. Each is one hour apart, so noon in New York is 11 AM in Chicago and 9 AM in Los Angeles.

Here's the part that trips everyone up: the letters change with the seasons. In winter, Eastern Standard Time (EST) is UTC−5; from March to November, clocks spring forward and it becomes Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) at UTC−4. The same happens to CST/CDT and PST/PDT. So someone asking for "PST time now" in July is technically asking about a zone that isn't in effect — schedules that say "9 PM EST" in summer almost always mean Eastern Time in general.

The safest habit is to think in cities, not abbreviations: "time in New York" is never ambiguous. The world clocks above show New York live, and Chicago and Los Angeles can be added in one tap, with the converter handling any US zone by name.

London keeps two names for its time. In winter it runs on GMT — Greenwich Mean Time, UTC+0, the historical zero point of the world's clocks. From late March to late October it switches to BST, British Summer Time, at UTC+1. So "time in London" depends on the season, which is why international schedules often quote UTC instead.

Tokyo is the opposite: Japan Standard Time (JST) is UTC+9, all year, every year — Japan abandoned daylight saving in 1951 and never looked back. That fixed offset makes Tokyo wonderfully predictable: 9 hours ahead of London in winter, 8 in British summer, and 13–14 ahead of New York.

Together these two cities bracket the global working day — when Tokyo's markets close, London's are opening. If you work between them, the converter above answers the perennial question of when a "10 AM Tokyo" call lands in your day, and both cities tick live in the world clock strip.

There's no single answer to "what time is sunset" — the sun sets at a different minute for every latitude, longitude, and date. In San Diego, sunset swings from about 4:47 PM in late December to 8:00 PM at the June solstice. Pittsburgh ranges wider, roughly 4:57 PM to 8:54 PM, because it sits further north. Key West, far to the south, barely swings at all: about 5:44 PM in winter to 8:19 PM in summer.

Detroit is the fun one: summer sunsets there arrive as late as 9:13 PM — later than cities far to its south — because Detroit sits on the far western edge of the Eastern time zone, so its clock runs well ahead of its sun. Position within a zone matters as much as latitude.

For tonight's exact sunset where you are, use the Prayer & sun times panel above: tap your location or pick any of 300+ cities, and it computes today's sunrise and sunset astronomically — the same math behind the numbers in this article.

Guam runs on Chamorro Standard Time, UTC+10, with no daylight saving — it sits west of the International Date Line's reach on the calendar, which earns it the motto "Where America's Day Begins." When it's Monday morning in Guam, it's still Sunday afternoon on the US mainland.

Maui, like all of Hawaii, uses Hawaii Standard Time at UTC−10, also with no clock changes. That puts Guam and Maui a full 20 hours apart — the widest time spread inside one country's territory anywhere on Earth. Meanwhile Virginia and Cleveland both keep Eastern Time (UTC−5 in winter, UTC−4 in summer), matching New York exactly — Cleveland's position near the zone's western side simply gives it slightly later sunrises and sunsets than the coast.

All four are in the world clock above: New York covers Virginia and Cleveland live, and Guam (Pacific/Guam) and Honolulu can be added with one tap for the islands.

First, the name: "Holland" is really just two provinces (North and South Holland) of the Netherlands, though the world uses it for the whole country. Whatever you call it, the Netherlands runs on Central European Time — CET, UTC+1 in winter — switching to Central European Summer Time, CEST at UTC+2, from late March to late October.

Copenhagen keeps exactly the same clock. Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and most of the continent share Central European Time, which makes intra-European scheduling easy: 3 PM in Amsterdam is 3 PM in Copenhagen, Paris, Berlin, and Rome. The main gotchas are the neighbours who differ — the UK an hour behind, and Finland, Greece and Eastern Europe an hour ahead.

From elsewhere: both cities are 6 hours ahead of New York and 4 hours behind Pakistan for most of the year. Amsterdam and Copenhagen are both a one-tap add in the world clocks above if you work with either.

Shanghai — and every other city in China, from Beijing to Kashgar — runs on China Standard Time, UTC+8, all year round with no daylight saving. Geographically China spans about five natural time zones, but since 1949 the whole country has kept a single clock, so the time in Shanghai is the time everywhere in China.

The convenience comes with a quirk: in China's far west, the sun can rise after 9 AM and set near midnight in summer, because local clocks run hours ahead of the sun. In Shanghai itself, on the coast, clock and sun agree closely — one reason the city's rhythm feels natural to visitors.

Converting is simple because the offset never changes: Shanghai is 12 hours ahead of New York in winter (13 in US summer, since China doesn't shift), 8 ahead of London in winter, and 3 ahead of Pakistan year-round. Shanghai's live clock is in the add-a-city list above, and the converter handles any "9 AM Shanghai is my what?" instantly.

May 2027 begins on Saturday, May 1 and ends on Monday, May 31, spanning ISO weeks 17 through 22. It's a five-Sunday month — the 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, and 30th — which places Mother's Day (US) on Sunday, May 9, and Memorial Day on its final day, Monday, May 31.

It's also an unusually rich month for observances. May 1 is International Workers' Day across much of the world. Orthodox Easter falls on Sunday, May 2 — five weeks after the Western Easter that year. Ascension Day lands Thursday, May 6, and Pentecost on Sunday, May 16 — the same weekend Muslims celebrate Eid al-Adha (May 16, subject to moon sighting). Buddhists mark Vesak on May 20.

Every one of those movable dates was computed from its own calendar system — the same engines that power the Upcoming Holidays list above, where you can watch the countdown to each of them live.

Europe is remarkably tidy. The UK, Ireland and Portugal keep Western European Time (UTC+0 winter, +1 summer). The great central block — Spain, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Poland, Austria, Switzerland, Czechia, Hungary, Croatia and their neighbours — all share Central European Time (UTC+1/+2). Finland, Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, the Baltics, Ukraine and Moldova run Eastern European Time (UTC+2/+3).

The entire EU springs forward together on the last Sunday of March and falls back on the last Sunday of October, at the same UTC instant — so the gaps between European capitals never change, even during the switch. The exceptions sit to the east: Türkiye stays on UTC+3 permanently, Belarus keeps UTC+3 with no changes, and Russia's Moscow zone is a fixed UTC+3 (with the country stretching on to UTC+12 at the Bering Strait). Iceland, out in the Atlantic, keeps UTC+0 all year.

Practical rule: London is one hour behind Paris and Berlin, two behind Athens and Helsinki, three behind Moscow and Istanbul in winter. Every capital named here ticks live in the add-a-city list above.

The region's spine is UTC+3: Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Yemen, Jordan and Syria all keep it year-round (Jordan and Syria both moved to permanent +3 in 2022). The UAE and Oman run UTC+4. Iran stands alone at UTC+3:30 — a half-hour zone — and abolished its daylight saving in 2022, so Tehran's offset no longer swings.

West of the peninsula, Egypt keeps UTC+2 and brought daylight saving back in 2023, shifting to +3 each summer. Israel runs UTC+2 in winter and +3 in summer, and Lebanon does the same. Afghanistan, at the region's eastern edge, uses another half-zone: UTC+4:30.

For Gulf business, the memory hook is simple: Makkah, Riyadh and Doha share one clock; Dubai is one hour ahead of them; Tehran sits awkwardly in between. All of them — plus prayer times for each — are available in the panels above.

Pakistan anchors the region at UTC+5. Cross into India and you jump to +5:30; the same +5:30 serves Sri Lanka. Nepal goes further with the world's rarest offset, UTC+5:45 — a quarter-hour zone shared only with New Zealand's Chatham Islands. Bangladesh and Bhutan round things off at UTC+6, and the Maldives sit at UTC+5 alongside Pakistan.

One habit unites them all: no daylight saving. Every South Asian offset holds still through the year, which makes the region blissfully predictable for scheduling — the 30-minute India–Pakistan gap and the 15-minute India–Nepal gap never move.

So a single noon spreads like this: 12:00 in Karachi and Malé, 12:30 in Delhi and Colombo, 12:45 in Kathmandu, 13:00 in Dhaka and Thimphu. The world clocks above can show all of them side by side — a neat little staircase of half-steps.

Myanmar opens the region on a half-zone, UTC+6:30. Then comes the big +7 belt: Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, plus western Indonesia including Jakarta. At UTC+8 sits the giant block — all of China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, and central Indonesia including Bali. Japan and both Koreas keep UTC+9, along with eastern Indonesia.

Indonesia is the one to watch: it's the region's only country spanning multiple zones (+7, +8, +9), so "time in Indonesia" depends on the island. Everything else is single-zone, and daylight saving is extinct across the entire region — no clock in East or Southeast Asia has moved seasonally in decades.

That stability makes mental math easy: Singapore and Beijing always match; Tokyo is always one hour ahead of them; Bangkok always one behind. Pin any of them in the world clocks above and the gap you memorise today will still be right next year.

Africa reads cleanly west to east. The Atlantic edge — Senegal, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, and their neighbours — keeps UTC+0. The +1 column runs from Morocco and Algeria down through Nigeria, Niger, Chad, Cameroon and the Congos to Angola. The +2 belt covers Egypt, Libya, Sudan, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Botswana and Rwanda. East Africa — Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Somalia, Djibouti and Madagascar — completes the map at UTC+3.

Daylight saving barely exists on the continent: Egypt (summer +3) is the main practitioner. Morocco does something unique — it stays on UTC+1 year-round but shifts back to UTC+0 during Ramadan so that iftar arrives at a kinder clock hour, the only country on Earth whose time zone follows the Islamic calendar.

Bonus fact for the east: Ethiopia keeps UTC+3 like Kenya, but daily life traditionally counts hours from dawn, so "one o'clock" in Ethiopian custom means 7 AM on the standard clock. From Casablanca to Nairobi, every capital here is one tap away in the world clocks above.

Canada and the US share the familiar ladder — Newfoundland's quirky UTC−3:30, then Atlantic −4, Eastern −5, Central −6, Mountain −7, Pacific −8, Alaska −9, and Hawaii −10 — with most areas shifting one hour forward from March to November. The famous holdouts: Arizona and Saskatchewan skip daylight saving entirely.

Mexico ended daylight saving in 2022, so Mexico City now stays on UTC−6 all year, with only the US-border cities still switching to match their northern neighbours. Central America never bothered with clock changes at all: Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica hold UTC−6, Panama UTC−5. In the Caribbean, Cuba keeps DST (−5/−4), while Jamaica stays −5 and the Dominican Republic −4 year-round.

The practical trap is seasonal: in winter, Mexico City matches Chicago; in summer it matches no major US city exactly, sitting an hour behind Chicago. The converter above resolves any of it by city name, current rules included.

The east coast runs on UTC−3: Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil's main population belt including São Paulo and Rio (Brazil spans −2 to −5 across its islands and Amazon west, but abolished daylight saving in 2019, so its clocks now hold still). The −4 column covers Bolivia, Venezuela, and most of Paraguay's neighbours' longitude — with Guyana also at −4, and Suriname and French Guiana at −3.

The Andean west keeps UTC−5: Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, none of which change their clocks. The remaining switchers are in the far south: Chile shifts between −4 and −3 (with its own dates, around April and September), and Paraguay historically switched too before moving to permanent summer time. Easter Island, out in the Pacific, follows Chile two hours behind the mainland.

Rule of thumb: Buenos Aires and São Paulo share a clock; Bogotá, Quito and Lima share another, two hours behind them; Caracas and La Paz sit in between. All live in the city list above.

Australia splits into three: Western Australia (Perth) at UTC+8, the Northern Territory and South Australia on half-zones at +9:30, and the eastern states (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane) at +10. Daylight saving then divides the country each summer — New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania spring forward while Queensland, WA and the NT refuse — so Sydney and Brisbane match in winter but differ by an hour in summer.

New Zealand runs UTC+12 with daylight saving to +13, and its Chatham Islands keep the world's strangest offset, +12:45. Deeper into the Pacific, Fiji and Tuvalu hold +12, Tonga and Samoa +13 — Samoa famously skipped an entire day in 2011, jumping across the date line to trade more easily with Australasia — and Kiribati's Line Islands claim UTC+14, the earliest clock on the planet.

So each new date is born near Kiritimati at UTC+14 and takes 26 hours to reach its last observer in the −11/−12 zones around American Samoa. Add Auckland, Sydney or Guam in the clocks above and watch tomorrow arrive before your today ends.

Earth takes about 365.2422 days to orbit the sun. Ignore the fraction and the calendar drifts a full day every four years — after a few centuries, summer months would fall in winter. The fix: add February 29 every fourth year. But a quarter-day is a slight overcorrection, so the Gregorian calendar trims it with two extra rules — century years are not leap years, unless they divide by 400. That's why 1900 had no February 29 but 2000 did.

The full test, in order: divisible by 4? Probably a leap year. Divisible by 100? Then no — unless it's also divisible by 400, in which case yes. Applied to now: 2026 and 2027 are ordinary 365-day years, and the next leap year is 2028.

The system is so accurate it drifts only about one day in 3,000 years. You can see the current year's length reflected live in the "day of the year" widget above — it counts to 365 or 366 depending on where we are in the cycle.

Most of the world writes day/month/year: 04/07/2026 means the 4th of July. The United States writes month/day/year, so the same string means April 7th. East Asia largely writes year/month/day. Put an American, a Brit, and a Japanese colleague on one email thread and a date like 03/02 has three possible meanings — a real source of missed meetings, expired documents, and shipping errors.

The international standard, ISO 8601, settles it: YYYY-MM-DD, always — today would be written 2026-07-18. Largest unit to smallest, no ambiguity in any country, and as a bonus, ISO dates sort correctly as plain text, which is why programmers and file-naming guides swear by them.

A practical rule for anything crossing a border: write the month as a word (18 July 2026) or use ISO. The date widget above shows today in both your local convention and ISO format, side by side.

In much of Europe, factories schedule production, retailers plan deliveries, and colleagues book holidays by week number — "let's ship in week 42." The numbering follows the ISO 8601 standard: weeks start on Monday, and week 1 is the week containing the year's first Thursday. That definition means January 1st can belong to week 52 or 53 of the previous year, and late December can already be week 1 of the next.

It also means years aren't all the same length in weeks: most have 52, but roughly every five to six years the arithmetic produces a week 53 — it happens whenever the year starts on a Thursday, or on a Wednesday in a leap year. 2026 is one of those long years, ending in week 53.

The live "week number" widget above always shows the current ISO week, so if a supplier says "delivery in week 12," you can see exactly how far away that is.

Julius Caesar's calendar of 45 BC ran a leap year every four years, no exceptions — slightly too generous. By the 1500s the accumulated error had pushed the calendar about ten days out of step with the seasons, dragging Easter away from its springtime anchor. Pope Gregory XIII's reform of 1582 cut the drift out surgically: in Catholic countries, Thursday, October 4 was followed directly by Friday, October 15.

Adoption took centuries. Protestant Britain and its colonies held out until 1752, by which point the correction had grown to eleven days — September 2 jumped to September 14, and legend says some protested "give us our eleven days." Russia didn't switch until 1918, Greece not until 1923.

The old calendar never fully died: Orthodox churches still calculate their feasts by Julian reckoning, which is exactly why Orthodox Christmas lands on January 7 and Orthodox Easter usually differs from the Western date — both visible in the holiday list above, computed from each calendar's own rules.

Counting days between dates sounds trivial and hides two traps. First, the fence-post problem: from Monday to Friday is four days elapsed, but five days touched — so decide whether your count includes the end date. Second, leap years: any span crossing a February 29 gains a day that mental math usually forgets. A 365-day-per-year estimate drifts one day for every leap year crossed.

Done right, day-counting is quietly delightful. A 30-year-old has lived close to 11,000 days. A couple's 10,000th day together lands about 27 years and 4½ months in. Project managers count business days to deadlines; visa rules count "days present"; and every countdown to a wedding, exam, or Eid is just a date difference wearing party clothes.

The "days between dates" tool above handles the leap years and fence-posts for you — enter any two dates, past or future, and it returns the exact gap in days and weeks. Try your own birth date; the number is always bigger than it feels.

نماز کے اوقات فلکیات سے جُڑے ہوئے ہیں۔ فجر اُس وقت شروع ہوتی ہے جب سورج افق سے تقریباً اٹھارہ درجے نیچے ہو اور صبحِ صادق کی روشنی نمودار ہو۔ ظہر سورج کے عین نصف النہار پر پہنچنے کے بعد، مغرب غروبِ آفتاب پر، اور عشاء شفق کے مکمل غائب ہونے پر شروع ہوتی ہے۔

عصر کا وقت سائے سے ماپا جاتا ہے: جب کسی چیز کا سایہ اس کے قد کے برابر ہو جائے تو شافعی طریقے کے مطابق عصر ہو جاتی ہے، اور حنفی طریقے کے مطابق جب سایہ قد سے دُگنا ہو جائے۔ اسی لیے پاکستان میں عام طور پر عصر کا وقت کچھ دیر سے ہوتا ہے۔

اوپر دیے گئے پینل میں آپ کے شہر کے آج کے تمام اوقات خود بخود موجود ہیں — کراچی، لاہور، اسلام آباد یا دنیا کا کوئی بھی شہر منتخب کریں۔ جماعت کے لیے اپنی مقامی مسجد کے نقشے پر ہی اعتماد کریں، کیونکہ چند منٹ کا فرق معمول کی بات ہے۔

भारतीय मानक समय (IST) UTC से साढ़े पाँच घंटे आगे है। यह अजीब लगने वाला आधा घंटा दरअसल एक समझौता है: भारत पूर्व से पश्चिम तक लगभग दो घंटे के सौर समय में फैला है, और +5:30 ठीक बीच का रास्ता है, ताकि पूरा देश एक ही घड़ी पर चल सके। यह व्यवस्था 1906 से चली आ रही है।

भारत में डेलाइट सेविंग नहीं होती, इसलिए यह अंतर साल भर स्थिर रहता है — पाकिस्तान से ठीक 30 मिनट आगे, नेपाल से 15 मिनट पीछे, और बांग्लादेश से 30 मिनट पीछे। लंदन से भारत सर्दियों में साढ़े पाँच घंटे और गर्मियों में साढ़े चार घंटे आगे रहता है।

ऊपर दिए गए वर्ल्ड क्लॉक में दिल्ली या मुंबई जोड़कर आप भारत का सटीक समय हमेशा देख सकते हैं, और त्योहारों की सूची में दिवाली व होली की उलटी गिनती भी चलती रहती है।

يقوم التقويم الهجري على دورة القمر: اثنا عشر شهرًا قمريًا مجموعها نحو 354 يومًا، أي أقل من السنة الشمسية بأحد عشر يومًا تقريبًا. لذلك يأتي رمضان كل عام أبكر من سابقه بأيام، حتى يكمل دورة كاملة عبر الفصول في نحو ثلاثة وثلاثين عامًا — فمن صام رمضان في الشتاء سيدركه يومًا في قلب الصيف.

وتعتمد بداية الشهر شرعًا على رؤية الهلال، ولهذا قد يختلف يوم بدء رمضان أو العيد بين بلد وآخر بيوم واحد. أما التواريخ المعروضة في هذا الموقع فتتبع تقويم أم القرى الحسابي المعتمد في السعودية، مع التنبيه دائمًا إلى أن الرؤية المحلية هي الفيصل.

في لوحة التقويمات أعلاه ترى تاريخ اليوم الهجري مباشرة، وفي قائمة المناسبات عدًّا تنازليًا لرمضان والعيدين محسوبًا من التقويم نفسه لا منقولًا عن جداول قديمة.

América Latina simplificó sus relojes en los últimos años. Brasil abolió el horario de verano en 2019, así que São Paulo y Río se mantienen todo el año en UTC−3, junto a Buenos Aires y Montevideo. México lo eliminó en 2022: Ciudad de México queda fija en UTC−6, y solo algunas ciudades fronterizas siguen el ritmo de Estados Unidos.

La costa andina — Bogotá, Quito y Lima — comparte UTC−5 sin cambios estacionales, dos horas detrás del bloque atlántico. Caracas usa UTC−4 y La Paz también. La gran excepción es Chile, que aún adelanta su reloj cada primavera austral, moviéndose entre UTC−4 y UTC−3 en fechas propias.

Regla práctica: una llamada al mediodía de Buenos Aires suena a las 10 de la mañana en Bogotá y a las 9 en Ciudad de México (11 en verano chileno para Santiago). Todos estos relojes están arriba, en vivo, y el conversor resuelve cualquier duda al instante.

Indonesia membentang begitu luas hingga membutuhkan tiga zona waktu. Waktu Indonesia Barat (WIB, UTC+7) berlaku untuk Jawa dan Sumatra, termasuk Jakarta. Waktu Indonesia Tengah (WITA, UTC+8) mencakup Bali, Kalimantan bagian timur, dan Sulawesi. Waktu Indonesia Timur (WIT, UTC+9) berlaku di Maluku dan Papua.

Kabar baiknya: Indonesia tidak pernah memakai daylight saving, jadi selisihnya tetap sepanjang tahun. Pukul 12.00 di Jakarta berarti 13.00 di Bali dan 14.00 di Jayapura — mudah dihafal dan tidak pernah berubah.

Untuk waktu salat, panel di atas menghitung jadwal harian secara astronomis untuk kota mana pun — Jakarta, Surabaya, Makassar, hingga Jayapura — langsung di perangkat Anda. Untuk berjamaah, tetap ikuti jadwal masjid setempat karena selisih beberapa menit adalah hal wajar.

Grâce à ses territoires d'outre-mer, la France s'étend sur douze fuseaux horaires — plus que la Russie (onze) ou les États-Unis. De la Polynésie française (UTC−10) à Wallis-et-Futuna (UTC+12), en passant par la Guadeloupe, la Guyane, La Réunion et la Nouvelle-Calédonie, le soleil ne se couche littéralement jamais sur la République.

La métropole, elle, vit à l'heure d'Europe centrale : UTC+1 en hiver, UTC+2 à l'heure d'été, du dernier dimanche de mars au dernier dimanche d'octobre — le même rythme que Berlin, Madrid et Rome, et une heure devant Londres toute l'année.

Curiosité : quand il est midi à Paris en janvier, il est 1 h du matin à Tahiti et déjà 23 h à Nouméa — le même pays, à vingt-deux heures d'écart. Ajoutez Paris, Tahiti ou La Réunion aux horloges ci-dessus pour le voir en direct.
