World Clock: View Current Time Across Multiple Cities

Coordinating across timezones is a daily challenge for remote workers, international teams, and frequent travelers. Our free World Clock shows the current time in multiple cities simultaneously, updating every second with accurate timezone data from the Intl API.

How to Use the World Clock

1. View default cities: The clock loads with 8 popular cities (New York, London, Tokyo, Sydney, Dubai, Los Angeles, Paris, Singapore)
2. Add a city: Use the dropdown to select a city and click Add
3. Remove a city: Click the X button on any city card to remove it
4. Your list is saved: The tool remembers your selected cities using browser localStorage

Each city card shows the current time, today’s date, day of the week, and UTC offset.

Available Cities

The World Clock includes 21 major cities across all continents:

• Americas: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, Sao Paulo
• Europe: London, Paris, Berlin, Moscow
• Middle East & Africa: Dubai, Cairo, Lagos
• Asia: Mumbai, Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul, Bangkok, Shanghai
• Oceania: Sydney, Auckland

Features

• Live updates: Time refreshes every second without needing to reload the page
• UTC offset display: See each city’s current offset from UTC, accounting for daylight saving time
• Date and day: Each card shows the local date and day of the week, helpful when cities are in different calendar days
• Persistent selection: Your chosen cities are saved to localStorage and restored on your next visit
• Add and remove: Customize the display to show only the cities you care about

Common Use Cases

• Remote team coordination: See at a glance what time it is for colleagues in different offices
• Meeting scheduling: Check whether a proposed time falls within business hours across cities
• Travel planning: Know the local time at your destination before you arrive
• Family and friends: Keep track of what time it is where loved ones live
• Market hours: Monitor when financial markets in different regions are open

Tips

• The default selection covers major business hubs. Customize it to match your contacts
• Pay attention to the date — when it’s late in New York, it may already be tomorrow in Tokyo
• UTC offsets change with daylight saving time. The Intl API handles this automatically for the current date
• If you clear your browser storage, the clock resets to the default 8 cities

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it handle daylight saving time? Yes. The tool uses the browser’s Intl.DateTimeFormat API with IANA timezone identifiers, which automatically account for DST transitions.

Can I add cities that aren’t in the list? The current version includes 21 major cities. If your city shares a timezone with one listed, the time will be the same.

Does it update automatically? Yes. The display refreshes every second without any manual action.
