This is a list representing time zones by country. Countries are ranked by total number of time zones on their territory. Time zones of a country include that of dependent territories (except Antarctic claims). France, including its overseas territories, has the most time zones with 12 (13 including its claim in Antarctica and all other counties).
Time zones of the world. A time zone is an area which observes a uniform standard time for legal, commercial and social purposes. Time zones tend to follow the boundaries between countries and their subdivisions instead of strictly following longitude, because it is convenient for areas in frequent communication to keep the same time.
Pale colours: Standard time observed all year Dark colours: Summer time observed Europe spans seven primary time zones (from UTC−01:00 to UTC+05:00), excluding summer time offsets (five of them can be seen on the map, with one further-western zone containing the Azores, and one further-eastern zone spanning the Ural regions of Russia and European part of Kazakhstan).
The main purpose of this page is to list the current standard time offsets of different countries, territories and regions. Information on daylight saving time or historical changes in offsets can be found in the individual offset articles (e.g. UTC+01:00 ) or the country-specific time articles (e.g. Time in Russia ).
In 2016, Turkey adopted the new Turkey Time time zone (UTC+03:00), moving in effect to permanent DST. Turkmenistan: 1991: Observed DST in 1981–1991. Turks and Caicos: Observed DST in 1979–2015 and since 2018. Ukraine: Observed DST in 1941–1943, 1981–1989, and since 1992. Follows European Union practice, although not a member.
The boundaries on this map show a mix of both de facto and de jure situations. This is just one of several different views on the subject (see COM:NPOV).It may be preferable to represent a consistent approach on this map, unless such a mixing is specifically desired for a particular use case.
A number of African countries use UTC+02:00 all year long, where it is called Central Africa Time (CAT), [1] although Egypt and Libya also use the term Eastern European Time. [2] The most populous city in the Eastern European Time zone is Cairo, with the most populous EET city in Europe being Kyiv.
