Spring forward
Clocks move ahead, usually by one hour. The local day has a skipped hour and the UTC offset moves forward.
Find the next spring-forward and fall-back dates worldwide. Every entry shows the local transition time, affected countries or regions, and the standard and daylight time abbreviations used before and after the change.
Daylight saving time (DST) shifts local clocks seasonally, but countries do not all change on the same date. The calendar below uses each location's local transition time so you can see exactly when its UTC offset changes.
Clocks move ahead, usually by one hour. The local day has a skipped hour and the UTC offset moves forward.
Clocks move back, usually by one hour. One local hour repeats and the UTC offset returns to standard time.
Dates and times are shown in the affected zone. Use the linked abbreviations to verify offsets before scheduling.
Sort the worldwide schedule by date or filter it by month. Country links open local-time overviews; abbreviation links explain the standard or daylight time used on each side of the clock change.
Clock-change dates depend on the country and year. North America and Europe normally change on different weekends, while Southern Hemisphere changes occur in opposite seasons. Use the dated schedule above for the exact local change.
No. Many countries keep one standard UTC offset all year, and some countries apply DST only in selected regions. The calendar lists locations with a scheduled upcoming transition.
When one location changes clocks before another, their time difference can temporarily increase or decrease by one hour. Check the time zone meeting planner before recurring international meetings.
These abbreviations identify standard or daylight offsets. Compare EST with EDT, or GMT with BST.
