When the difference changes

Alaska Time and Greenwich Mean Time do not change their clocks on the same dates, so the gap between them is not the same all year. Most converters show only today’s figure. These are the periods ahead:

  1. Now – March 14, 2027Greenwich Mean Time is 9 hours ahead
  2. March 14, 2027 – November 7, 2027Greenwich Mean Time is 8 hours ahead
  3. November 7, 2027 – onwardsGreenwich Mean Time is 9 hours ahead

Periods shorter than a day are not listed. Each zone changes at its own local time, so on a date when both move there are a few hours when the gap is briefly something else.

Daylight saving

Alaska Time

Sunday, March 14, 2027

Clocks go forward one hour — 2:00 am becomes 3:00 am local time, and the zone is on AKDT after that.

Greenwich Mean Time

No clock changes

Greenwich Mean Time stays on GMT all year, so its offset from UTC never moves.

Scheduling between the two

There is no overlap between a nine-to-six working day in Anchorage and one in Greenwich — the gap is too wide. A call has to sit early or late for one side. Early morning in Anchorage is the usual compromise, since that is late afternoon or evening in Greenwich.

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is used in as a fixed UTC+0 offset. Note that the UK itself leaves GMT every summer — see British Time below.
