Daylight Saving Time (DST)

Find out when the clocks change (moving from winter standard time to summer time) around the world...

Note: Singapore currently does not employ time zone changes and daylight saving.

If dealing with other countries, it can be helpful to know how the different varieties of DST (for those countries that use the system) map on to each other. Most countries adjust their clocks at some time between midnight and 03:00.

Reference map and chart of zone and up-to-date changes: WorldTimeZone.com
The time right now: TimeAndDate.com

Note: Many countries and territories change days of transitions to DST from year to year and some do not employ it every year.
