Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to what people usually want to know.

Yes. The converter uses your browser's built-in timezone database, which stores the full history of DST rules for every supported timezone. When you enter a date that falls during a DST period in either city, the tool adjusts automatically.
When the time difference is large enough, the clock tips past midnight at the destination, which means the calendar date changes. For example, 10 PM on Monday in Los Angeles is 3 PM Tuesday in Tokyo. The tool flags this with a "+1 day" badge.
Pick the major city in the same timezone. Cities within the same country and timezone region share identical offset rules. If your country has only one timezone, any listed city for that country gives you the right answer.
Several countries chose to align more closely with their solar noon rather than simply adopt a neighbouring zone. India (UTC+5:30) and Nepal (UTC+5:45) are common examples. Our tool handles all of them correctly.
For future dates within the next few years, yes — the tool applies known scheduled DST rules. Governments do occasionally change DST rules with little notice. For historical dates, the browser database includes most rule changes back to the 1970s.
GMT is a timezone — it applies to the UK in winter. UTC is the international scientific standard used as the baseline for all timezone offsets. For everyday purposes they show the same time, but UTC is maintained using atomic clocks and never observes Daylight Saving Time.
