Frequently asked questions
What time is 9 AM EST in India?
7:30 PM IST the same day in winter (EST, UTC−5). During US daylight saving time (EDT), 9 AM New York time is 6:30 PM in India.
Does this handle daylight saving time?
Yes. Conversions use the official time zone database built into your browser, so DST rules for each country and date are applied.
Why does the difference between two cities change during the year?
Countries switch to daylight saving time on different dates, and many don't use it at all. New York and London are usually 5 hours apart but 4 hours for a few weeks each year.
What does “next day” mean?
The converted time falls on the following calendar day in that city.
