Every time difference, from one place.
Pick where you are. The globe divides the world into its 24 hourly bands, and every zone below shows its real offset from you, its current local time, and the cities in it — each one a link to that pair.
THE 24 BANDS
Each band is one hour wide. Pick one to isolate it — on the globe and in the list.16 zones · 39 cities
Bands are the nominal 15° hour slices — the offsets, local times and abbreviations in the list are the real ones, computed live from each zone's current daylight-saving rules.
QUESTIONS
Why does the globe show straight bands when real time zones are jagged?
The bands are the nominal 15° hour slices the world's zones are built on — they make the structure legible at a glance. Political borders bend around them, which is exactly why the list reports each city's real, live offset rather than its band.
Do the differences account for daylight saving?
Yes. Every offset, local time and abbreviation is computed from current time zone data, so the differences shown are correct for today — including the weeks when two cities shift on different dates.
What if I need more than two cities at once?
This directory is built around one anchor and one comparison. For a whole distributed team, the free Time Zone Planner lines every city up on a single 24-hour grid and highlights the shared window.
