GMT Help for Americans

Sharing Information About Australia

Since most Americans don't use GMT, here are your GMT hours:

USA Time Zones Standard Time Daylight Savings
Easter Standard Time ( EST ) - 6.0 hours GMT - 5.0 hours GMT
Pacific Standard Time ( PST ) - 9.0 hours GMT - 8.0 hours GMT

What does this all mean? Here's an example:

5am Monday in Greenwich, England (GMT 0) means it's

3pm Monday in Sydney, NSW Australia ... 5am +10 hours ... and

8pm Sunday in Seattle, Washington USA ... 5am - 9 hours.

Did you notice it's Monday in Australia, but it's Sunday in the USA. That's because there is a 19 hour time difference which can mean they're different days.

It gets a bit more complicated because Australian seasons are the opposite of the USA. Christmas is in the summer here (Santa wears shorts). So when you're just coming off Daylight Savings, we're starting it. Check Aussie dates here. In the above example, to make it easier, we used Standard Time for both locations.

Daylight Saving Time for most of the United States
Begins at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday of April.
Ends 2 a.m. on the last Sunday of October.

Daylight Saving is NOT observed in Hawaii, Arizona, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands and the Eastern Time Zone portion of Indiana.

Don't Despair. There IS an easier way!

We know of a great little program that will tell you what time it is for any location in the world. Best of all it's free. We don't get anything for telling you about it. Someone told us years ago and we've been sharing the info ever since. If you like it too, tell a friend. Sharing is such fun!

World Time 6
Dubbed "The 'Swiss Army Knife' of world clocks" with unlimited clocks, each with it's own time zone, Daylight Saving Time, 3D World Map with day/night display, unlimited alarms with AutoSnooze. And so many other features, you've got to try it to believe it. It's so popular it has over 10,000 downloads a month with high recommendations by ZDNet and TuCows. I think you can see why we use it.
