Glasgow
What time is it in United Kingdom
About Glasgow
Glasgow keeps British Summer Time, UTC+1, putting it five hours ahead of New York throughout the year. Clocks go back to GMT (UTC+0) on 25 October 2026 — but since the US East Coast also falls back the same Sunday, the gap stays at five hours all winter. When New York hits 08:00, the Clyde already shows 13:00. In late June daylight runs close to 17 and a half hours in Scotland, with sunset near 22:00. UK office hours of 09:00-17:30 mean American morning calls land in their afternoon.
