What time is it in Mauritius?

Mauritius 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.

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

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 13 hours 2 minutes long in Mauritius, and gaining 1 minute a day. The sun peaks within a few minutes of twelve o’clock, so Mauritius’s offset fits its longitude about as closely as a whole-hour offset can.

Mauritius lies inside the tropics, so the sun passes directly overhead at noon twice a year — around January 20 and November 22 in 2026, when a vertical object casts almost no shadow. Nowhere outside the tropics ever sees that. The longest day is 13 hours 21 minutes and the shortest 10 hours 55 minutes, 147 minutes apart.

Mauritius has kept UTC+4:00 since Sunday, March 29, 2009, when it moved from UTC+5:00. Before that its clocks read 1 hour ahead of what they read now.
