GMT to ACDT converter

ACDT is 9.5 hours ahead of GMT right now. Live clocks on both sides, a direct time input, the full 24-hour table with a permalink per hour, and the real daylight-saving state — computed from the IANA tz database on every request, never from a stored offset.

Daylight saving right now

Australian Central Daylight Time

Australia/Adelaide is currently on ACST (UTC+09:30). That is not ACDT — this page is named for the abbreviation people search for, and tells you the truth about which one is actually in force.

next change: Sun, 4 Oct 2026 03:00 local → ACDT (51 days, clocks go forward)

ACDT is UTC+10:30, Adelaide's summer clock — a half-hour offset that also shifts for daylight saving, which is the combination most naive converters get wrong. Darwin stays on ACST and never joins it.

Greenwich Mean Time

Etc/GMT is on GMT (UTC+00:00).

no clock change scheduled — fixed at UTC+00:00

GMT is UTC+0 and never shifts. The UK observes GMT in winter only — in summer it is on BST (UTC+1), so "GMT" on a British invite dated in July usually means BST.

Best time to call green = 09:00–18:00 on both sides

No overlap inside a 09:00–18:00 day on both sides. Someone has to take an early or late slot — the table below shows exactly which hours are least bad.

Every hour as its own page

GMT to ACDT — questions

What time is it in ACDT when it is GMT now?
ACDT is currently 09:45 on Thursday, 13 August 2026 (ACST, UTC+09:30), while GMT is 00:15 (UTC+00:00). That is 9.5 hours ahead of the source clock right now.
How many hours ahead is ACDT of GMT?
9.5 hours at this moment. The gap is not constant across the year: Greenwich Mean Time and Australian Central Daylight Time change clocks on different dates (or one of them not at all), so a difference you hard-code in summer can be an hour wrong in winter. The table on this page is computed from the current tzdata rules, not from a fixed offset.
Is ACDT on daylight saving time right now?
No. Australia/Adelaide is on ACST (UTC+09:30) at the moment.
When does ACDT next change its clocks?
Australia/Adelaide next changes on Sunday, 04 October 2026 at 03:00 local time, when it moves forward 60 minutes and the abbreviation becomes ACDT (UTC+10:30). That is 51 days away. This date comes from the IANA tzdata rules currently in force, so it updates if a government changes the law.
Is there any working-hours overlap between GMT and ACDT?
Not inside a normal 09:00-18:00 day on both sides — the 9.5-hour gap is too wide. One party has to take an early or late slot; the hour table above shows exactly which hours land where so you can pick the least painful one.
Which IANA timezone name should I use for ACDT in code?
Use Australia/Adelaide. Abbreviations like ACDT are ambiguous and not resolvable by most libraries — Python's ZoneInfo, Java's ZoneId, Go's time.LoadLocation and JavaScript's Intl all expect the IANA name. Hard-coding UTC+09:30 instead will be wrong the moment the rules change.
