US Time by Region
Live current time across all six US time zones — Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern, Alaska, and Hawaii.
Live current time across all six US time zones — Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern, Alaska, and Hawaii.
The 50 US states span six standard time zones: Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific, Alaska, and Hawaii–Aleutian. US time by region simply means the current local time in each of those zones. Standard offsets run from UTC−5 in the East to UTC−10 in Hawaii, so when it is noon in New York in winter it is 9:00 AM in Los Angeles and 7:00 AM in Honolulu.
Daylight Saving Time changes the gaps. Most of the country moves clocks forward one hour on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November, but Hawaii and most of Arizona stay on standard time all year. As a result, Arizona matches Pacific time in summer (both UTC−7) and matches Denver in winter, and Hawaii is 2 hours behind the West Coast in winter but 3 hours behind in summer. Several states are split between zones — the Florida Panhandle west of the Apalachicola River runs on Central time, far West Texas runs on Mountain time, and Tennessee, Kentucky, and Indiana each straddle the Eastern–Central line. Sales teams calling customers, schedulers planning national webinars, and anyone checking whether a business is open across the country need these differences.
This page shows six live clocks — Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern, Alaska, and Hawaii — with hours, minutes, seconds, and AM/PM, refreshing every second. There is nothing to enter: the times come from the browser's built-in time zone database, so DST is applied automatically on the correct dates. The Mountain clock follows Denver, so in summer most of Arizona matches the Pacific clock instead. To convert a specific future time between zones, use the time zone converter.

| Mountain (MT) | CO, AZ*, NM, UT, ID, WY, MT | UTC−7 (MST) | UTC−6 (MDT) | Yes (exc. AZ) |
| Pacific (PT) | CA, WA, OR, NV | UTC−8 (PST) | UTC−7 (PDT) | Yes |

*Most of Arizona stays at UTC−7 (MST) year-round without DST.
Eastern time is always 3 hours ahead of Pacific, 2 hours ahead of Mountain, and 1 hour ahead of Central. Alaska is 1 hour behind Pacific. Hawaii is 2–3 hours behind Pacific depending on DST.
When it's 12:00 PM (noon) Eastern Time: it's 11:00 AM Central, 10:00 AM Mountain, 9:00 AM Pacific, 8:00 AM Alaska, and 7:00 AM Hawaii.
The contiguous US has four time zones: Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific. Including territories: Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico (AST), Guam, and American Samoa bring the total to nine official US time zones.
No. Hawaii stays at UTC−10 year-round and does not observe DST. This means Hawaii is 2 hours behind Pacific time in winter but only 3 hours behind in summer.
Most of Arizona does not observe DST and stays at Mountain Standard Time (UTC−7) year-round. The Navajo Nation within Arizona does observe DST.
New York is 3 hours ahead of Los Angeles year-round. Both observe DST on the same schedule, so the gap stays constant.
DST begins on the second Sunday in March (clocks spring forward 1 hour) and ends on the first Sunday in November (clocks fall back 1 hour). Hawaii and most of Arizona do not participate.
Chicago is in the Central Time Zone — UTC−6 in winter (CST) and UTC−5 in summer (CDT) during Daylight Saving Time.
Most of Texas, including Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio, is on Central time (UTC−6, or UTC−5 during DST). El Paso and neighboring Hudspeth County in far West Texas are on Mountain time, one hour behind.
Hawaii stays at UTC−10 all year, so it is 5 hours behind Eastern Standard Time in winter and 6 hours behind Eastern Daylight Time from March to November. Noon in New York is 7:00 AM in Honolulu in winter and 6:00 AM in summer.
