World Clock — Live Time in Cities Worldwide
Pin the cities and countries you care about. ClockAura shows live local time, the date, and the UTC offset for each. Built for remote teams, travelers, and anyone scheduling across zones.
About the world clock
A world clock shows the live current time in the cities you choose, with daylight-saving handled automatically by your browser's timezone database. Add your team's or family's cities once, bookmark the page, and you never do timezone math again.
The world clock uses your browser's built-in timezone database, so it follows the correct DST rules and updates every second. Add the cities of your team or family, bookmark the page, and stop booking meetings at 3am someone else's time.
Handy UTC offsets (standard time)
| City | UTC offset | DST? |
|---|---|---|
| London | UTC+0 | Yes (Mar–Oct → +1) |
| New York | UTC−5 | Yes (Mar–Nov → −4) |
| Los Angeles | UTC−8 | Yes (Mar–Nov → −7) |
| New Delhi / Mumbai | UTC+5:30 | No |
| Dubai | UTC+4 | No |
| Singapore | UTC+8 | No |
| Tokyo | UTC+9 | No |
| Sydney | UTC+10 | Yes (Oct–Apr → +11) |
When the world clock helps
- Remote teams scheduling stand-ups across the US, Europe and Asia.
- Freelancers and consultants confirming a client call is in business hours for both sides.
- Travellers — keep your home time visible while you adjust to the new one.
- Calling family abroad — see immediately if it is too late or too early.
- Trading and following financial-market opens around the world.
- Watching live sports happening overseas — when does the kick-off start in your time?
How to use the world clock
- The page starts with four common cities. Each tile shows the city name, country, current digital time and the day plus UTC offset.
- Tap the X on a tile to remove a city you do not need.
- Click 'Add a city' and type a city or country into the search box — the picker shows live time and UTC offset for each match.
- Press Enter or click an item to add it. The new tile appears straight away.
- Your selection is saved across visits, so the cities you care about are there next time you open the page.
Tips for using the world clock
- Add your home timezone first so you have a reference point for everything else.
- For half-hour timezones (India, Sri Lanka, Iran, parts of Australia) the picker shows the offset clearly so you do not get caught out.
- When countries enter or leave daylight saving, the world clock follows the official rules automatically. You do not need to refresh manually.
- Pair this with the alarm clock to wake up to a meeting based on a remote colleague's working hours.
World clock FAQ
Where does the time data come from?
Browsers ship with a complete IANA timezone database that is updated regularly. ClockAura's world clock reads from that, so when a country changes its DST rules, your browser update brings the change in.
Can I add cities not in the list?
The default list covers 70 of the most-used cities. If you need a less-common one, search by country — most regions are represented through their main timezone (for example, type 'Norway' to find Oslo).
Do the times update automatically?
Yes — every second. There is no need to refresh the page; the clocks tick live as long as the tab is open.
Are my saved cities synced across devices?
They are tied to an anonymous client ID stored in this browser. Each device has its own list. There are no accounts to sync.
Why do I see UTC and not GMT?
UTC is the modern technical standard; GMT is the older British name for what is essentially the same timezone. Most software uses UTC. The two values match outside daylight saving in the UK.
How do I schedule a meeting across three time zones?
Add all three cities and look for the window where each is inside working hours (roughly 9am-6pm). For a US-Europe-India standup that is usually 8-9am US Eastern: early afternoon in Europe, evening in India. If no slot suits everyone, rotate the awkward one.
What happens during daylight-saving transitions?
The time and UTC offset update automatically under the official IANA rules. Countries switch on different dates — the US and Europe are usually a couple of weeks apart — so a recurring meeting can drift by an hour for a fortnight. Keeping both cities visible catches it.
Why is it 9am for me but 3am for someone else?
Cities far apart in longitude are in different parts of the day at the same instant. India is about 10-12 hours ahead of the US, so late morning for one side is the middle of the night for the other.
How can I see the time around the world at once?
Add the cities you care about and this page shows the current time around the world side by side, with UTC offsets and whether each city is on today, tomorrow or yesterday.
