What time is it in Georgia?

Georgia stays on UTC+4:00 all year. Its offset from UTC never moves, so its relationship to places that do change shifts twice a year instead — which is usually why someone checks. Right now it is 4 hours ahead of UTC, and 9 hours ahead of New York.

Tbilisi is 9 hours ahead of New York and 12 hours ahead of Los Angeles. 9am in New York is 6:00 pm in Tbilisi.

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 9 hours 55 minutes long in Tbilisi, and losing 2 minutes a day. The sun peaks at 12:44 pm, 44 minutes after noon on the clock. A UTC offset is a promise that the sun is overhead at midday on one meridian, and Tbilisi sits 61 minutes of solar time west of UTC+4:00’s. The rest is the equation of time, which swings about a quarter of an hour either way across the year.

The solar year swings 6 hours 4 minutes in Tbilisi: 15 hours 12 minutes of daylight at the June solstice against 9 hours 9 minutes at the December one. Being north of the equator, its longest day falls in June — the opposite way round from the other hemisphere.

Georgia has kept UTC+4:00 since Sunday, March 27, 2005, when it moved from UTC+3:00. Before that its clocks read 1 hour behind what they read now.
