Why Time Differences Change During the Year
Countries that use daylight saving time (DST) move their clocks on different dates, and many countries don't use it at all. So the gap between two cities is not always the same.
Worked Example: New York and London
London is usually 5 hours ahead of New York. But in 2026 the United States moves its clocks forward on 8 March, while the United Kingdom waits until 29 March. Between those dates the gap is only 4 hours. The same thing happens in autumn: the UK moves its clocks back on 25 October and the US on 1 November, so for that week the gap is again 4 hours. This converter uses the real date you pick, so it handles these weeks automatically.
Half-Hour and No-DST Time Zones
Not every time zone is a whole number of hours from UTC. India uses UTC+5:30 all year with no daylight saving, and a few places use 45-minute offsets. That's why converting "just add a few hours" in your head often goes wrong.
Scheduling Across Time Zones
When you send a meeting invite, include the time for each main location (for example, "15:00 London / 10:00 New York"), and double- check any meeting that falls in March, October, or November, when clock changes most often cause mistakes.
