About World.ie

What is here

235 countries on a map with the real day and night line across it, 275 city pages with the current local time, 48 pages working out the call window between Ireland and somewhere else, every Irish clock change out to 2032, and all 195 national flags with the colours measured off the artwork rather than judged by eye.

Page views are counted by a self-hosted tool that identifies nobody. There is no advertising, no tracking pixel and no third-party analytics.

Where the numbers come from

Time zones, offsets and clock-change dates are from the IANA time zone database, the same source your phone and your computer use, read live from your own device. The day and night line is the real position of the sun at this moment, from NOAA’s solar equations. Country outlines are from Natural Earth and are public domain, which is why every map here is free to download, print and edit.

The clocks are live and cannot go out of date. Everything else, the clock-change dates and zone rules and coordinates, was last checked on Tuesday 11 August 2026. Countries do occasionally move their clocks at short notice, so that date is worth a glance.

Where it can be wrong

A country that keeps several time zones has no single local time, so the map labels it by how many clocks it keeps rather than picking one. Sunrise and sunset are worked out for a city’s coordinates at sea level, so they can be a few minutes out somewhere mountainous. Anything else that is wrong here is a bug rather than a judgement call.
