Daylight saving right now

Gulf Standard Time

Asia/Dubai is currently on UTC+04:00 (UTC+04:00). That is not GST — this page is named for the abbreviation people search for, and tells you the truth about which one is actually in force.

no clock change scheduled — this zone is fixed at UTC+04:00

Gulf Standard Time is UTC+4 year-round. Not to be confused with South Georgia Time, which is UTC-2 and also written GST.

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

5 overlapping working hours. The longest run is 09:00–14:00 GMT, which is 13:00–18:00 GST.

Every hour as its own page

GMT to GST — questions

What time is it in GST when it is GMT now?
GST is currently 04:16 on Thursday, 13 August 2026 (UTC+04:00, UTC+04:00), while GMT is 00:16 (UTC+00:00). That is 4 hours ahead of the source clock right now.
How many hours ahead is GST of GMT?
4 hours at this moment. The gap is not constant across the year: Greenwich Mean Time and Gulf Standard 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 GST on daylight saving time right now?
No. Asia/Dubai is on UTC+04:00 (UTC+04:00) at the moment.
Does GST observe daylight saving time?
No. Asia/Dubai stays on UTC+04:00 all year, so the difference from GMT only moves when GMT itself changes.
What is the best time to schedule a call between GMT and GST?
There are 5 hours of overlap where both sides are inside a 09:00-18:00 working day. The longest block is 09:00–14:00 GMT, which is 13:00–18:00 GST. Use the calendar buttons above to drop it straight into Google Calendar, Outlook or an .ics file.
Which IANA timezone name should I use for GST in code?
Use Asia/Dubai. Abbreviations like GST 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+04:00 instead will be wrong the moment the rules change.
