Does it account for Daylight Saving Time?

Yes, our converter uses the IANA timezone database, which includes all current DST rules for every timezone in the world.

UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks. All timezones are defined as offsets from UTC.

Can I compare multiple timezones at once?

Yes, you can add multiple cities or timezones and see the equivalent times side by side.

How many timezones are there in the world?

There are 38 distinct UTC offsets in use, ranging from UTC-12 to UTC+14. This includes half-hour (UTC+5:30 India, UTC+9:30 Australia) and 45-minute offsets (UTC+5:45 Nepal, UTC+8:45 Australia).

What is the International Date Line?

The International Date Line (IDL) runs roughly along the 180° meridian in the Pacific Ocean. When you cross it westward, you gain a day; crossing eastward, you lose a day.

Why do some timezones have 30 or 45 minute offsets?

Countries chose offsets that best matched their solar noon. India uses UTC+5:30 and Nepal uses UTC+5:45 because standard hourly offsets didn't align well with their geography.

Which country has the most timezones?

France has the most (12 timezones) due to overseas territories. Russia spans 11 timezones. The US has 6 (including Hawaii and Alaska).

Why people convert Ireland to Kuala Lumpur time

Scheduling a call from Ireland to Kuala Lumpur: a 10:00 AM start in Ireland lands at 5:00 PM in Kuala Lumpur, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Ireland and Kuala Lumpur are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM IST time (4:00 PM–5:00 PM MYT). That is roughly 1 hours of usable overlap.
Coordinating a Ireland-based team with Kuala Lumpur contacts: quoting times in the other side's local clock — not your own — removes the single biggest source of missed meetings.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM IST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +7h gap is not.
Block 9:00 AM–10:00 AM IST as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Ireland and need Kuala Lumpur colleagues present.
Ireland: Clocks fall back on Sun, Oct 25, 2026. Re-check this page after that date because the offset changes and so does the +7h gap.

About GMT (Greenwich Mean Time)

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is the clock time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, which sits on the Prime Meridian (0° longitude). GMT serves as the reference point from which all other time zones are calculated. The United Kingdom uses GMT during winter months and switches to British Summer Time (BST, UTC+01:00) from late March to late October. Several West African nations use GMT year-round. GMT is often used interchangeably with UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), although technically they are different – UTC is based on atomic clocks while GMT is based on Earth's rotation.

About MYT (Malaysia Time)

Malaysia Time (MYT) is used throughout Malaysia, including Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak on Borneo). MYT does not observe daylight saving time. Malaysia shares the same offset as China, Singapore, and the Philippines.
