What is UTC-1?
UTC-1 is a UTC offset that is currently UTC - that's the same as UTC. Its full name is Coordinated Universal Time -1. Right now the local time on UTC-1 is 17:48. Today 2 countries (including Cabo Verde and Portugal) and 3 IANA database zones sit at this offset, which is why UTC-1 is a useful shorthand even though the exact local rules differ from place to place.
How to convert UTC-1 to UTC
For quick planning, use today's offset as a rule of thumb: 12:00 UTC = 12:00 local time, and 09:00 local time = 09:00 UTC. The live clock above is the safest reference when daylight saving or regional rules may apply.
How UTC-1 sits in the world day
This offset is UTC itself, so local time and UTC use the same clock reading. This is a whole-hour offset, so the minutes match UTC and only the hour changes.
When to use a UTC-1 offset page
Use this page when a schedule, server log, flight plan, or message gives only the offset UTC-1. If you know the real place, open the matching IANA zone or country page because daylight saving and local law can change future times.
