About the world time zone map

The map provides a clear visual representation of how time is divided across the globe. Each region follows a specific time zone defined by its UTC offset, which determines the local time relative to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

How to use the time zone map

  • Search for a city to drop a pin on the map.
  • Add multiple cities to compare time zones.
  • Hover over a region to view its time zone and UTC offset.
  • Your current time zone is highlighted automatically.

Understanding time zones

Time zones are not always straight vertical lines. Many follow political borders, historical decisions, or geographical boundaries. Some regions use non-hour offsets such as UTC +5:30 (India), UTC +5:45 (Nepal), or UTC −3:30 (Newfoundland, Canada).
