DST Transition Tracker

Anticipate daylight saving shifts across hemispheres to prevent schedule collisions.

Upcoming Transitions (Next 6 Months)

Mar
08

United States & Canada (Spring Forward)

Clocks move forward 1 hour at 2:00 AM local time. Pacific becomes UTC-7, Eastern becomes UTC-4.

Mar
29

European Union & UK (Spring Forward)

Clocks move forward 1 hour. London becomes UTC+1 (BST), Berlin becomes UTC+2 (CEST).

Apr
05

Australia & New Zealand (Fall Back)

Clocks move backward 1 hour. Sydney shifts from UTC+11 to UTC+10.

Impact Zones

Regions that do not observe Daylight Saving Time will experience an effective shift in overlap with observing regions.

  • 🇮🇳 India (IST)No DST Observed
  • 🇯🇵 Japan (JST)No DST Observed
  • 🇦🇪 UAE (GST)No DST Observed
  • 🇸🇬 Singapore (SGT)No DST Observed

warning Warning Period

Between March 8 and March 29, the US-Europe overlap window changes temporarily because the US shifts 3 weeks before Europe.

Why Track DST Transitions?

Daylight Saving Time (DST) is not globally synchronized. The United States and Canada typically shift their clocks in early March and early November, whereas the European Union shifts in late March and late October. Furthermore, the Southern Hemisphere (Australia, New Zealand) operates on an inverted calendar.

This creates "Danger Zones"—multi-week periods where the standard time gap between your international offices shrinks or expands unexpectedly, often causing scheduled recurring calendar invites to break or overlap with sleep cycles.

What happens during the US-Europe "Danger Zone" in March?expand_more
In early March, the US "springs forward," but Europe does not shift until late March. During this 2-3 week window, the time difference between New York and London shrinks from 5 hours to just 4 hours. A recurring meeting scheduled at 9:00 AM EST will suddenly ring at 1:00 PM GMT instead of 2:00 PM GMT, potentially causing scheduling conflicts for European participants.
Do Asian countries observe Daylight Saving Time?expand_more
The vast majority of countries in Asia (including India, China, Japan, and Singapore) do not observe DST. This means their UTC offset remains static year-round. However, their effective time difference with the US and Europe will still shift twice a year when Western countries change their clocks.
