Answer for the example date Wednesday, September 30, 2026. It changes to today's date when the page loads.
Time zones: 6. At 12:00 PM on September 30, 2026 in London (UK), Europe has 6 time zones and 5 UTC offsets in use.
How to calculate
Lists the time zones of Europe with the local time, abbreviation, UTC offset, and daylight saving in each, for any time and date.
Example with the default inputs (Time 12:00, In London (UK), Date September 30, 2026) on the example date Wednesday, September 30, 2026: At 12:00 PM on September 30, 2026 in London (UK), Europe has 6 time zones and 5 UTC offsets in use.
Method: For the typed time in the chosen zone, find the instant (UTC) it names, then show each listed zone’s clock at that instant with its UTC offset, from the browser’s IANA time zone data.
- The zones are IANA tzdata names from zone1970.tab (tzdata 2026a): Atlantic/Azores, Africa/Abidjan, Europe/Lisbon, Europe/London, Europe/Dublin, Europe/Paris, Europe/Berlin, Europe/Madrid, Europe/Rome, Europe/Warsaw, Europe/Athens, Europe/Helsinki, Europe/Kyiv, Europe/Kaliningrad, Europe/Istanbul, Europe/Minsk, Europe/Moscow, Europe/Samara. The browser supplies each zone's offsets and daylight saving rules, so a rule change arrives with a browser update.
- “Time zones” counts the different standard offsets among the listed zones. A zone’s standard offset in a year is the lower of its offsets at 00:00 UTC on January 1 and July 1 of that UTC year.
- “UTC offsets in use” counts the different offsets the listed zones show at that moment.
- Each zone shows its local time, the abbreviation from the browser’s Unicode CLDR English names (left out when CLDR has none), the date as “Tue, Sep 29”, the offset as UTC+hh:mm or UTC−hh:mm, and “daylight saving” when the offset is ahead of the standard offset, “standard time” when the zone’s January 1 and July 1 offsets differ but it is on the standard offset, or “no daylight saving” when they are the same. Because the rule compares January 1 and July 1, a zone that moves its offset for good during a year (Cancún in 2015, Novosibirsk in 2016), or whose January 1 falls in Morocco’s Ramadan change (Casablanca in 2030 to 2033), shows the later offset as “daylight saving” for that year.
- A time that does not exist in the chosen zone (skipped when clocks spring forward) has no answer. A time that occurs twice (when clocks fall back) shows both moments, earlier first, where they differ.
- Dates from 2000 to 2040 work.

Other questions people ask
How many time zones does Europe have?
The zones in the table use 6 standard offsets: UTC−01:00, UTC+00:00, UTC+01:00, UTC+02:00, UTC+03:00, and UTC+04:00. Most of the European Union uses Central European Time (UTC+01:00); the UK, Ireland, and Portugal use UTC+00:00; Greece, Finland, Ukraine, and the Baltic states use UTC+02:00.
When do clocks change in Europe?
In the EU, the UK, and most other European countries, clocks go forward at 01:00 UTC on the last Sunday in March and back at 01:00 UTC on the last Sunday in October, so they all change at the same moment. In 2026: Sunday, March 29, 2026 and Sunday, October 25, 2026. Iceland, Turkey, Belarus, and Russia keep the same time all year.
Is the UK on the same time as Paris?
No. London is 1 hour behind Paris, Berlin, Madrid, and Rome all year, because both sides change their clocks at the same moment.
