Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about world time and timezones.

The exact current time depends on your timezone. TellMyTime.com automatically detects your location and shows your precise local time at the top of this page, updated every second.

The time is calculated using your device's system clock and the IANA timezone database. It is accurate to within one second and updates every second. For the most accurate results, ensure your device's time and timezone are correctly set.

UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the global time standard that all other timezones are measured against. For example, London in winter is UTC+0, New York in winter is UTC-5, and Dubai is always UTC+4. UTC never changes for Daylight Saving Time.

Daylight Saving Time is the practice of moving clocks forward by one hour in spring and back in autumn, to make better use of daylight. Not all countries observe DST — for example, Japan, India, China and most of Africa do not change their clocks.

There are 24 standard time zones, but the actual number of distinct UTC offsets used around the world is around 38, because some countries use half-hour or quarter-hour offsets — such as India (UTC+5:30), Iran (UTC+3:30) and Nepal (UTC+5:45).

While many Western nations shift clocks twice a year, the majority of the world does not observe DST. Major countries like China, India, Japan, South Korea, and most nations across Africa and South America maintain fixed standard time zones all year round.
