How to use Time Zone Converter
- The first city is where the time you type is. Add the cities to convert to, such as London, Dubai or New York.
- Pick the date, then type the time under "Time in …", or tap an hour in the grid.
- Read the converted time in every city. A day name such as (Tue) shows when it falls on another date.
- Copy the times, or press Add to calendar to save them as a calendar event.
Why use Time Zone Converter
Any time, to the minute
Convert 15:30 as easily as 15:00, including places 30 or 45 minutes off the hour, like India and Nepal.
The right date
Converting late evening in New York to Asia gives the next morning, with the day shown.
Summer time for that date
The time difference changes when clocks change; the converter uses the rules for the date you pick.
Many cities at once
Convert one time to up to eight cities in a single view.
About this tool
A time zone converter answers "what time is it there when it is 3 pm here?". Time zone abbreviations such as GMT, PKT, GST, EST, PST and IST name a fixed offset from Coordinated Universal Time, but places change between summer and winter time on different dates, so the time difference between two cities is not always the same. For example, UK time to Pakistan time is 5 hours in winter and 4 hours in summer, and Dubai time to London time is 4 hours in winter and 3 in summer.
This converter works with cities rather than abbreviations: pick the cities, pick the date, and type the time. It uses the time zone rules built into your browser, so it knows when each country changes its clocks. PST to IST, EST to PKT or GMT to PKT: add a city in each zone and the converted times, with the time difference, appear at once.
Frequently asked questions
What is the time difference between the UK and Pakistan?
Pakistan is 5 hours ahead of the UK in winter and 4 hours ahead when the UK is on summer time (late March to late October). Pakistan does not change its clocks.
What is PKT, GST and IST?
PKT is Pakistan time (GMT+5), GST is Gulf time in the UAE and Oman (GMT+4), and IST is India time (GMT+5:30). Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are on GMT+3.
How do I convert EST to PKT?
Add New York and Karachi, put New York first, and type the time. PKT is 10 hours ahead of EST in winter and 9 hours ahead of New York’s summer time (EDT).
Why is the date different in some cities?
Converting an evening time in the Americas to Asia or Australia often gives the next morning. The converter shows the day, such as (Tue), next to those cities.
What is the time difference between Qatar and Pakistan?
Pakistan (PKT, UTC+5) is 2 hours ahead of Qatar (AST, UTC+3) all year, because neither country uses summer time. 9 AM in Doha is 11 AM in Karachi.
Can I use it as a time zone meeting planner?
Yes. Add the cities of everyone in the meeting and working hours are shaded for each, so you can pick a time that suits all of them and save it to your calendar.
