Majuro, Marshall Islands · UTC+12
Convert time from Majuro
Majuro is the capital of the Marshall Islands, a nation of low-lying atolls spread across the central Pacific. It runs at UTC+12, placing it among the first inhabited places to begin each calendar day. No daylight saving applies.
The Marshall Islands sit close to the International Date Line, and the country has historically been on both sides of it at various points. The date line runs slightly east of the geographic meridian in this region to keep island nations on a single calendar day. Majuro and Tarawa in Kiribati are among the first places on earth to reach midnight on New Year’s Eve.
sea level, climate time, and the date line
The atolls average less than two meters above sea level, making rising seas one of the most immediate climate concerns facing any nation on earth. Climate time, the slow accumulation of decades of warming and ocean rise, runs on a very different scale from civil timekeeping, but the Marshall Islands government has become one of the most vocal in international climate negotiations precisely because that geological time is intersecting with human time in visible ways.
9am in Majuro is 9pm in London the previous day. The twelve-hour offset is one of the cleanest calculations in timezone arithmetic.
