The time difference normally varies from 17 to 21 hours depending on which part of America you come from and whether New Zealand has day light saving at that time of the year. So if you are in New York which is 5 hours behind GMT and it is summer in New Zealand, then the time difference is 17 hours. But if you are in Los Angeles which is 8 hours behind GMT and its Winter in New Zealand, you are 21 hours behind.

An interesting factor is that it is quite possible that you are 2 calender days behind New Zealand! And its quite interesting too. The International Date Line is set such that no two countries are separated by more than a day. So the maximum difference between two countries can at best be 24 hours. However, during winter, New Zealand, given its geographical position, has to add an extra hour to save on daylight. This means, that in addition to the maximum of 12 hours allowed for any country, it adds a further one hour and moves 13 hours ahead of GMT. So if you happen to visit one of United States Minor Outlying Islands which are GMT-12, you will for an entire one hour everyday from April to September, be 2 days behind New Zealand!!

What is the time difference between England and New Zealand?

The time difference between New Zealand and England (UK) varies between 11 and 13 hours throughout the year. Generally, when New Zealand is on Daylight Savings Time the time difference is 13 hours and when the UK is on Daylight Savings Time the time difference is 11 hours. The difference is 12 hours in the cross-over periods (when both observe DST at the same time which is approx. 2 months a year). The best way to check is via a time difference calculator. UK is at UT = 0. New Zealand is UT + 12 hours, apart from the Chatham Islands which are UT + 12.45. And of course, civil time in both countries use Summer Time a.k.a. Daylight Saving Time as appropriate.
