Time in Auckland
The current local time in Auckland, its time zone, and a converter to your own time.
Auckland runs on New Zealand Time and, as a southern-hemisphere zone, keeps NZDT (UTC+13) over the southern summer and NZST (UTC+12) in winter — among the first cities to enter each new day.
Auckland uses UTC+12 in winter (standard time) and shifts to UTC+13 in summer when daylight saving time is active.
