About UTC — Coordinated Universal Time

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the world's primary time standard. All other timezones are defined as offsets from UTC (e.g., UTC+5:30 for IST, UTC−5 for EST). UTC is maintained by a network of atomic clocks and coordinated by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM).

UTC replaced Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) as the world's time standard in 1967. Unlike GMT (which is astronomical), UTC is based on extremely precise atomic clocks. Leap seconds are occasionally added to UTC to keep it aligned with Earth's rotation.

Major cities in the UTC timezone:

Reykjavik (UTC+0 year-round) Accra Abidjan Dakar
