A fixed offset, not a time zone

UTC-5 never changes for daylight saving. Places do — a country that observes DST sits at this offset for part of the year and a neighbouring one for the rest, which is why the lists below are computed for right now rather than written down once.

Questions people ask

What time is it at UTC-5 right now?

7:57 pm (19:57) on Wednesday, 12th August 2026. That is a fixed offset from UTC, so it does not shift for daylight saving — but the places listed on this page do move in and out of it as their own clocks change.

Which countries are at UTC-5?

Right now Lima, Bogotá, Quito, Guayaquil, Chicago, Cali, Houston, Medellín are all on this offset. The list is computed live, because a zone that observes daylight saving belongs to a different offset for half the year.

Is UTC-5 the same as GMT-5?

Yes. GMT and UTC show the same clock time; UTC is the modern atomic-clock standard and GMT is the older astronomical name for the same reference. Offsets written either way mean the same thing.
