You can find yourself on the map, in the zone where it says (1 hour earlier, if Your System Clock reflects Summertime)

All times on the map are Standard time. Ad 1 hour when reading out the time for a country that obtains lightsaving/summertime (including your own).

On the map, numbers are fixed (like on any analog watch), but the map itself rotates - counterclockwise - just like the real world.

So, WorldMapClock not only offers the most obvious combination of a map and a clock, it makes local time and weekday, plain easy to conceive .

You can make yourself a Paris ring, which will convert any time on earth, including summertime. Take a look at Free downloads, further down this page.

FAQs

Why did you change the timezonenames?

Well, the official names (A, B, C, D...-J,.. to Z) have been in use for hundreds of years, yet it is only Z-time that is commonly known. Names like "central time" is not obvious nor fair to the world, so we decided to find some new memoable names. If you have suggestions, write us a letter.

Why do some countries have od colors?

Those countries have 30 minutes offset. The time and the colors, are midways between those to each side.

Why don't you adjust for Daylight Saving Time?

This clock shows the time per timezone. Timezones are fixed. And countries are fixed. I am a mapmaker and I gues I *could* move either around and put California in the Mountain T. or China in the Japan T. for the summer, but it won't work.
In each timezone there will be a standard time (ST) and a daylight saving time (ST+1hour)
Arround equator they use standard time only.
When your hemisphere obtain summertime (ST+1hour), the opposit does not.
No country subtracts an hour from ST, so only 1 hour divides northerns and southerns within a timezone.
Allso, if you need the time in milliseconds, this is not the site.

We are not used to 24 hour notation, do something!

OK, I read U. But can't you just go diametrical opposite on the map, following the same color (e.g. green 17 to green 5) and say ah.. 17 is 5pm! (?)
