UTC and SST examples

These examples always use UTC (UTC+0) and SST (UTC-11). They stay the same when you change the date or time above. The selected conversion may differ when daylight saving time applies.

UTC is 11 hours ahead of SST.

How the time difference changes

UTC is 11 hours ahead of SST year-round.

Working hours of 9:00 am to 6:00 pm in UTC correspond to 10:00 pm (previous day) to 7:00 am in SST.Working hours of 09:00 to 18:00 in UTC correspond to 22:00 (previous day) to 07:00 in SST.

Compare UTC time with SST time, including current local time, UTC offsets, time difference, daylight saving changes, working hours, and shareable meeting times.

UTC to SST call time
Best time for a conference call or a meeting is between 6:30pm-7:30pm18:30-19:30 in UTC which corresponds to 7:30am-8:30am07:30-08:30 in SST. Their 9am–6pm09:00–18:00 working hours do not overlap; this is a suggested compromise.

Coordinated Universal Time

Offset: UTC is the same as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

Countries using this time zone: Antarctica, Burkina Faso, Faroe Islands, Gambia, Ghana, Greenland, Guernsey, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Iceland, Ireland, Isle of Man, Ivory Coast, Jersey, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Portugal, Saint Helena, São Tomé and Príncipe, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Spain, Togo, United Kingdom, Western Sahara

Principal Cities: The largest city in the UTC time zone is London in the United Kingdom, with about 8.962 million people. Other major cities in this time zone include Abidjan, Bamako, Casablanca, Dakar.

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the world time standard that regulates clocks and time. It is the successor to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). For casual use, UTC is the same as GMT, but UTC is the standard the scientific community uses.
UTC has been the time standard commonly used across the world since 1972. It is used in many technical fields, such as aviation and meteorology, and to synchronize time across internet networks.
