How to use the Daylight Saving Transition Checker
Use this to review where a named zone changes its UTC offset during a year. It is especially useful before planning events near a local clock change.
What to enter
Choose a year from 1970 to 2100 and one supported IANA time zone. The result uses the time-zone data available in the browser running the tool.
Worked example
New York has transitions in March and November 2025; UTC itself has none.
How to read the result
Each row gives the UTC instant of a detected change and the offset minutes immediately before and after it. The difference tells you how the local clock moved.
How the result is worked out
Compare daily offsets from the browser’s IANA time-zone data and narrow each detected change to the first minute with the new offset.
What to check
Some jurisdictions change rules at short notice. Historical and future results depend on the browser’s installed time-zone database.
A common mistake to avoid
Governments can change rules and browser time-zone data can lag. Confirm a future transition with an authoritative local source before scheduling something critical.
Named time-zone results use the time-zone data installed in your browser. Future rules can change. How JavaScript handles named time zones
This tool calculates in your browser. The dates you enter are not sent to the Nirmion API.
Questions to check
Does a zero-result year mean the zone has no daylight saving?
It means no offset change was detected in that year by the browser’s installed time-zone data.
Are the results identical in every browser?
Not always. Browsers may ship different versions of the IANA time-zone database, especially for future or recently revised rules.
Does this predict a future government decision?
No. It reports transitions in the installed data; a later rule change can alter a future result.
