StraightToolsWorld Time
Current local time in major cities around the world.
Accurate local clocks
Each city clock uses the time-zone database built into your browser and updates every second.
When to use this tool
Use World Time to check current local time across popular cities without manually calculating offsets. It is useful for calls, travel, remote work, and international scheduling.
How the result is calculated
City clocks rely on IANA time-zone identifiers in the browser. That means the displayed offset can change automatically when a location enters or leaves daylight saving time.
Worked example
New York and London are often five hours apart, but there are parts of the year when the difference temporarily changes because the United States and United Kingdom switch daylight saving time on different dates.
What to keep in mind
Time-zone laws can change. For critical travel or legal schedules, confirm the local time with an authoritative source close to the event date.
About our calculations
StraightTools is designed to show the method behind the answer, not just the result. Inputs are handled in your browser for this tool. For important financial, legal, medical, tax, safety, or contractual decisions, verify the result with an appropriate authoritative source or qualified professional.

World time and time zones
Use StraightTools World Time to check the current local time in major cities and understand the time-zone context behind the clock. City pages pair the live local time with useful UTC-offset and daylight-saving information so you can plan calls, travel, broadcasts, and deadlines across regions.
UTC offsets and daylight saving time
A UTC offset shows how far a local clock is ahead of or behind Coordinated Universal Time. Some locations change their offset during the year for daylight saving time, while others stay on the same offset year-round. When scheduling a future event, check the date as well as the current offset because seasonal clock changes can alter the difference between two cities.

Scheduling across time zones
For international meetings, compare the local time at both locations rather than relying on a remembered hour difference. Daylight-saving transitions can temporarily change familiar differences between cities in different countries.
