Bogotá

Bogotá runs on Colombia Time (COT), which is UTC−5. The current local time updates in real time on this page, so you always see the exact hour and minute for the city.

Bogotá uses Colombia Time (COT), permanently set at UTC−5. Colombia does not observe daylight saving time, so the offset stays the same throughout the year.

No. Colombia abolished daylight saving time in 1992, so Bogotá stays at UTC−5 all year long. You never need to account for seasonal clock changes when scheduling calls or meetings with the city.

When New York is on Eastern Standard Time (UTC−5), the two cities are in sync. When New York switches to Eastern Daylight Time (UTC−4), New York is 1 hour ahead of Bogotá. Colombia itself never shifts, so the gap depends entirely on whether the US is observing DST.

London (GMT/UTC±0 in winter, BST/UTC+1 in summer) is 5–6 hours ahead of Bogotá. In winter Bogotá is 5 hours behind; in British Summer Time it falls 6 hours behind.

Bogotá (UTC−5) is 1 hour behind Lima, which also sits at UTC−5 for most of the year, making them nearly aligned. It is 2 hours behind Buenos Aires (UTC−3) and 1 hour behind Santiago in standard time. The exact gap can shift when neighbouring countries adjust for daylight saving.

During US Eastern Standard Time (November–March), Miami and Bogotá share the same UTC−5 offset, so they show the same clock time. When Miami moves to Eastern Daylight Time (March–November), Miami becomes 1 hour ahead of Bogotá.
