What time is it in Turks & Caicos Islands?

Grand Turk 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 9 minutes long in Grand Turk, and losing 1 minute a day. The sun peaks at 11:28 am, 32 minutes before noon on the clock. A UTC offset is a promise that the sun is overhead at midday on one meridian, and Grand Turk sits 15 minutes of solar time east 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.

Grand Turk lies inside the tropics, so the sun passes directly overhead at noon twice a year — around May 28 and July 15 in 2026, when a vertical object casts almost no shadow. Nowhere outside the tropics ever sees that. The longest day is 13 hours 26 minutes and the shortest 10 hours 49 minutes, 157 minutes apart.
