Converting Los Angeles time to New York time
Set Los Angeles as the reference city, then enter the local date and time of your event. The second row shows the corresponding time and date in New York. Use the reference selector to convert in the other direction.
Why the date matters
Los Angeles follows Pacific Time: UTC−8 in standard time and UTC−7 during daylight saving time. Events in Asia may fall on the following calendar day, so check the date as well as the hour.
New York follows Eastern Time. Its UTC offset changes between UTC−5 in standard time and UTC−4 during daylight saving time. London and New York change clocks on different dates, so their time difference is not always five hours.
Winter and summer comparison
These examples compare the same instant (12:00 UTC) on two dates. They are examples, not a fixed year-round time difference.
