Converting Hong Kong Time to Coordinated Universal Time
Hong Kong Time (HKT) and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) are separated by a 8 hours time difference. UTC is 8 hours behind HKT. HKT is UTC+8, used in Hong Kong, China, while UTC is UTC+0.
When converting from HKT to UTC, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM HKT equals 1:00 AM UTC, 12:00 PM noon HKT equals 4:00 AM UTC, and 5:00 PM HKT equals 9:00 AM UTC. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.
Scheduling Across HKT and UTC
For professionals scheduling meetings between HKT and UTC, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 8 hours difference, the window of overlap may be limited, making early morning or late evening calls necessary for one party. Use the highlighted working hours in the conversion table above to quickly identify suitable meeting times.
Daylight Saving Time Considerations
HKT does not observe Daylight Saving Time, maintaining UTC+8 year-round. UTC does not observe DST, staying at UTC+0 year-round.
