About UTC
UTC represents a time zone offset of zero — the baseline reference for all other zones, and the clock that every Unix epoch timestamp is counted against. As of right now, 2 IANA time zones observe this offset, covering 17 countries and 36 major cities in our directory.
Because of Daylight Saving Time, the list of zones at this offset shifts twice a year for regions that observe DST. The data on this page reflects the current moment — refresh after a clock change to see the updated list.
