The DST gap

When daylight saving changes don't line up, the gap between London and Melbourne shifts.

Add to calendar (.ics)

Right now the gap is unusual: 10h instead of 9h or 11h.

Melbourne is 10 hours ahead of London until Oct 25, when London clocks go back 1 hour. A recurring meeting set in one city's time lands at a different local time in the other until then.

Next change in 3 days (Oct 25, 2026): London clocks go back 1 hour, and the gap goes from 10h to 11h.

2026 · usually 11h in January, 9h in July
