GMT stands for Greenwich Mean Time and it is the time in London or Lisbon. Local time is the time in your current location. Therefore, if you live in Rome, which is GMT+1, the time will be one hour later than the time in London (Greenwich). In the differnet time zones, one hour is added from Greenwich all the way round the world until you get back.

The military work on Zulu time, which is GMT (Greenwich mean time) or UTC (Universal Time) - which are basically the same but differ in name. This allows any unit, to coordinate any operation to a standard time, without having to worry about time differences.

How does GMT work?

You have to do a conversion to your local time. If you live in the GMT + 5 (Eastern standard time) and wish to find out when an even in GMT + 1 is at you would add four hours. It is the difference between the time zones. If you want to find out what time an event is at that is GMT - 4 you would add 9 hours, because 5 - -4 is 5+4 = 9. That is the general rule, your GMT - Other TimeZone. GMT + 5 - GMT - 4 = 5 - -4 GMT + 5 - GMT + 1 = 5 - 1 Then the result is added to the time.

How do I figure out what time it is in London?

World time is calculated from GMT - which is London time. Therefore, wherever you are in the world, your local time will be a number of hours before or after GMT. So if you live in New York, your local time will probably be 5 hours BEFORE London time but if you live in Tokyo, your local time will probably be 8 hours AHEAD of London time.

Does Daylight Saving Time impact greenwich mean time?

No, Daylight Saving Time does not impact Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). GMT is a fixed time standard that does not observe changes in daylight saving. However, some regions that use GMT as their standard time may choose to implement their own daylight saving time adjustments, which would affect their local time relative to GMT.


How can you convert GMT into local time?

Find out the longitude of your location in degrees, multiply by 24 and divide by 360. This gives the difference in hours between your location and the Prime (or Greenwich) Meridian. For example;1. Longitude 10 degrees East: 10*24/360 = 0.67 hours approx., = 40 minutes.Local time would be GMT plus 40 minutes (e.g, if the time was 11.20 GMT, local time would be 12.00);2. Longitude 15 degrees West: 15*24/360 = 1 hour.Local time would be GMT minus 1 hour (e.g, if the time was 11.00 GMT, local time would be 10.00).


What is the time difference between US Central time and Greenwich mean time?

GMT is the timezone in London, England. All other time zones are described relative to GMT. For example, New York is GMT - 5 hours. Los Angeles is GMT - 8 hours. Standard time is how we set our clocks when we are NOT observing Daylight Saving Time. Daylight Saving Time reduces the time-difference between your timezone and GMT by 1 hour. For example, When NYC observes DST, the timezone in NYC becomes GMT-4 (instead of the normal GMT-5)
