World Map of Time Zones

This map doesn't take into account seasonal variations in the numerous countries where a standard and daylight-saving time system is in use. Only the "standard" times are displayed here. See the Europe, Africa and Oceania pages for detailed tabular data of time differences with regions of those continents.

The name of a country, a region or an island is not displayed on the map? Just move the pointer of your mouse over it, and wait a second for a label to appears, or observe the status bar(?) of your browser (JavaScript required).
