What time is it in Switzerland?

Switzerland is currently on standard time, UTC+1:00. The next change is Sunday, March 28, 2027, when clocks go forward one hour — 2:00 am becomes 3:00 am local time.

Zurich is 6 hours ahead of New York and 9 hours ahead of Los Angeles. 9am in New York is 3:00 pm in Zurich.

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 25 minutes long in Zurich, and losing 3 minutes a day. The sun peaks at 12:10 pm, 10 minutes after noon on the clock. A UTC offset is a promise that the sun is overhead at midday on one meridian, and Zurich sits 26 minutes of solar time west of UTC+1:00’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 7 hours 30 minutes in Zurich: 15 hours 57 minutes of daylight at the June solstice against 8 hours 27 minutes at the December one. Being north of the equator, its longest day falls in June — the opposite way round from the other hemisphere.
