Tips & Best Practices

  • India (IST) is UTC+5:30 — one of the few half-hour offsets.
  • Some regions observe daylight saving time, shifting their UTC offset by 1 hour.
  • When it's noon in New York, it's 5 PM in London and 1 AM the next day in Tokyo.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Forgetting daylight saving time shifts.

DST typically shifts clocks by 1 hour. Check if either location currently observes DST for accurate conversion.

Confusing AM/PM with 24-hour time.

Add 12 to PM hours (1 PM = 13:00). Subtract 12 from hours >12 for AM/PM format.
