Clock changes
Auckland moves its clocks forward one hour on the last Sunday in September at 2:00 am local time and back on the first Sunday in April at 3:00 am, switching between New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12) and New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13).
Auckland is in the southern hemisphere, so its summer time runs from about October to April — the opposite half of the year from Europe and North America. For half the year the gap to London or New York is one hour wider than in the other half, with a few odd weeks in between.
Next change, as of when this page was built (2026-10-20): back on Sun 4 April 2027, from UTC+13 to UTC+12.
