UTC offsets: the time now at every offset
Looking for the current UTC time on its own? See UTC time now.
UTC+0 is the base of world time. Iceland and several West African countries use it all year; the UK, Ireland and Portugal use it in winter.
UTC is also written GMT or UTC+00:00 in ISO 8601. It is the same time everywhere on this offset, all year: a UTC offset never moves for daylight saving time, places do.
