Daylight saving right now

Alaska Daylight Time

America/Anchorage is currently on AKDT (UTC-08:00), its daylight-saving clock.

next change: Sun, 1 Nov 2026 01:00 local → AKST (80 days, clocks go back)

AKDT is UTC-8, Alaska's summer clock — the same offset the lower 48 west coast uses in winter as PST, which makes Anchorage and Seattle briefly agree in spring and autumn but not in between.

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

1 overlapping working hours. The longest run is 17:00–18:00 GMT, which is 09:00–10:00 AKDT.

Every hour as its own page

GMT to AKDT — questions

What time is it in AKDT when it is GMT now?
AKDT is currently 16:27 on Wednesday, 12 August 2026 (AKDT, UTC-08:00), while GMT is 00:27 (UTC+00:00). That is 8 hours behind the source clock right now.
How many hours behind is AKDT of GMT?
8 hours at this moment. The gap is not constant across the year: Greenwich Mean Time and Alaska 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 AKDT on daylight saving time right now?
Yes — America/Anchorage is on AKDT (UTC-08:00) right now.
When does AKDT next change its clocks?
America/Anchorage next changes on Sunday, 01 November 2026 at 01:00 local time, when it moves back 60 minutes and the abbreviation becomes AKST (UTC-09:00). That is 80 days away. This date comes from the IANA tzdata rules currently in force, so it updates if a government changes the law.
What is the best time to schedule a call between GMT and AKDT?
There are 1 hours of overlap where both sides are inside a 09:00-18:00 working day. The longest block is 17:00–18:00 GMT, which is 09:00–10:00 AKDT. Use the calendar buttons above to drop it straight into Google Calendar, Outlook or an .ics file.
Which IANA timezone name should I use for AKDT in code?
Use America/Anchorage. Abbreviations like AKDT 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-08:00 instead will be wrong the moment the rules change.
