How time zones work
The world is divided into time zones that are mostly whole hours ahead of or behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the reference clock kept by atomic clocks. A few zones use half or quarter hours: India is UTC+5:30 and Nepal is UTC+5:45. The offsets shown here come from the IANA time zone database, the same source your phone and computer use.
Daylight saving time
Many places move their clocks forward one hour in spring and back in autumn. In most of the United States, daylight saving time starts on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. The European Union switches on the last Sunday in March and the last Sunday in October, so for a few weeks each year the gap between New York and London is one hour shorter than usual. Arizona (except the Navajo Nation) and Hawaii do not use daylight saving time.
UTC and GMT
UTC and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) show the same time for everyday purposes. GMT is also the name of the UK's winter time zone; in summer the UK uses British Summer Time (BST), which is UTC+1.
