Places without DST, such as Japan or South Korea (one example), see only their partner’s change: Seoul–New York goes from 13 to 14 hours on 1 November.
Several Canadian provinces stop changing clocks from November 2026; see time zone rule changes.
Checking recurring meetings
- Decide which city the meeting is anchored to (“2pm London”).
- Tell everyone else in advance what it will be in the week of 25 October and after 1 November.
- Recurring calendar events follow the organiser’s zone, so let someone in the anchor city own the invite.
In the app
DST badge and countdown
City cards on the World Time Board Board tab carry a DST tag while daylight time is in effect, and show “DST ends in 5d” once a change is 14 days away or less.
Preview a date after the change
On the Meeting tab, set the date to 27 October or 3 November to see that day’s times. Dates on the other side of a DST change use that day’s rules.
FAQ
Has the US abolished DST?
As of October 2026, most of the US still changes on the dates above. If the law changes, so will the dates; follow official announcements.
Why do southern-hemisphere gaps move the other way?
Their summer is our winter, so they spring forward in October while Europe and North America fall back.
