Daylight saving right now

New Zealand Daylight Time

Pacific/Auckland is currently on NZST (UTC+12:00). That is not NZDT — 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, 27 Sep 2026 03:00 local → NZDT (44 days, clocks go forward)

NZDT is UTC+13 — one of the furthest-forward clocks in regular use, running from late September to early April.

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 NZDT — questions

What time is it in NZDT when it is GMT now?
NZDT is currently 12:16 on Thursday, 13 August 2026 (NZST, UTC+12:00), while GMT is 00:16 (UTC+00:00). That is 12 hours ahead of the source clock right now.
How many hours ahead is NZDT of GMT?
12 hours at this moment. The gap is not constant across the year: Greenwich Mean Time and New Zealand 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 NZDT on daylight saving time right now?
No. Pacific/Auckland is on NZST (UTC+12:00) at the moment.
When does NZDT next change its clocks?
Pacific/Auckland next changes on Sunday, 27 September 2026 at 03:00 local time, when it moves forward 60 minutes and the abbreviation becomes NZDT (UTC+13:00). That is 44 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 NZDT?
Not inside a normal 09:00-18:00 day on both sides — the 12-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 NZDT in code?
Use Pacific/Auckland. Abbreviations like NZDT 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+12:00 instead will be wrong the moment the rules change.
