What time is it in Cuba?

Cuba is currently on standard time, UTC−5:00. The next change is Sunday, March 14, 2027, when clocks go forward one hour — 12:00 am becomes 1:00 am local time.

Havana is on the same clock as New York right now, so a time in one is the same time in the other.

To convert a specific time rather than read the current one, the converter shows both directions with the next clock change for each.

The day is 11 hours 3 minutes long in Havana, and losing 1 minute a day. The sun peaks at 12:13 pm, 13 minutes after noon on the clock. A UTC offset is a promise that the sun is overhead at midday on one meridian, and Havana sits 29 minutes of solar time west of UTC−5:00’s. The rest is the equation of time, which swings about a quarter of an hour either way across the year.

Havana lies inside the tropics, so the sun passes directly overhead at noon twice a year — around June 11 and June 30 in 2026, when a vertical object casts almost no shadow. Nowhere outside the tropics ever sees that. The longest day is 13 hours 33 minutes and the shortest 10 hours 43 minutes, 171 minutes apart.
