World Time Zones

The worldwide standard for coordinated universal time is now abbreviated as UTC. The current UTC Time, formerly known as GMT (or Greenwich Mean Time) is shown directly above the world map, and that starting time zone for worldwide time begins in Greenwich, England - located by the White Arrow.

NOTE: UTC time in Greenwich, England, never observes daylight saving time.

The numbers currently shown in each time zone (left or right) of UTC, (or 0) indicate the number of hours you should add or subtract to find the current time in your area of interest.

For example, during Daylight Saving Time the U.S. State of California is indicated as being -7. To determine the current time in California, subtract 7 hours from the UTC time shown below. On the other hand, the country of Turkey is indicated as +3, so to find the current time in Turkey, just add 3 hours to the UTC time below.
