This page opens the time zone converter with Berlin as the start zone and New York added to the cards. Berlin is on CET (UTC+1) in winter and CEST (UTC+2) in summer, and New York is on EST (UTC−5) or EDT (UTC−4), so each card shows the offset for the date you pick.
New York is 6 hours behind Berlin for most of the year. The gap is 5 hours for a few weeks in March and in late October to early November, when the US and Europe have not changed their clocks on the same day.
How to convert time between time zones
- Enter the date, the time and the zone that time is in.
- Add the cities or zones you want to compare.
- Read each local time, then the strips for shared working hours.
Questions
What is 3:00 PM CET in New York?
It is 9:00 AM in New York in winter. In the weeks when only one side has changed its clocks, it is 10:00 AM.
Is Berlin on CET all year?
No. Berlin is on CET (UTC+1) in winter and CEST (UTC+2) in summer. The start zone is the city, so its offset follows the date you pick.
How do I convert a time to another time zone?
Find each zone’s UTC offset on that date, then add or subtract the difference. London is UTC+1 in summer, so 09:00 in London is 08:00 UTC, which is 17:00 in Tokyo (UTC+9).
Why do UTC offsets change during the year?
Many places move their clocks for daylight saving time, so their offset from UTC changes twice a year. Check the date you are converting, not only today’s offset.
Why does a zone show +1 day?
The converted time falls on a different calendar date in that zone, so it is the next day (+1) or the previous day (−1). Late evening in New York is often the next morning in Tokyo.
What do the working-hour strips show?
Each strip follows the starting zone’s day, hour by hour. Shaded cells are 09:00 to 17:00 in that row’s zone, so you can see where the working hours of several zones overlap. On a clock-change day, an hour that does not exist (such as 02:00 when clocks go forward) is left as an empty outline.
