Time differences

How far apart New Zealand and Australian cities are from London, North America and Asia, when the gap changes, and the best hours to call.

Built Sun 1 Nov 2026 · IANA tz database 2026e

The gap between two cities changes when either side starts or ends daylight saving time. Between October and early April several changes fall within a few weeks of each other, so the difference you remember from last month may already be wrong. Each page below shows the current gap, the date of the next change and a 24-hour table of good calling hours.
