Understanding the offset
How Phoenix Islands Time Works
The Zone, Not the Offset
Kanton sits in Pacific/Kanton. That name matters more than the number: an offset like the one shown above is only true today, whereas the zone name carries every rule about when the country changes its clocks. Software that stores offsets instead of zone names breaks at the next changeover.
Clock Changes
Whether Phoenix Islands moves its clocks twice a year is baked into the Pacific/Kanton zone, so the offset above is always the one in force today. Places that stay on a fixed offset drift an hour relative to their neighbours for part of the year, which is the usual reason a recurring call slips.
Not One Zone Throughout
The Phoenix group is on UTC+13. The clock above follows Kanton, so check which zone applies before assuming it matches the whole region.

Phoenix Islands Time Questions
What time is it in Phoenix Islands right now?
The clock at the top of this page shows the current local time in Kanton, Phoenix Islands, updating every second. It is calculated from the Pacific/Kanton zone using your browser's copy of the IANA time zone database, so daylight saving is applied automatically.

Does Phoenix Islands change its clocks?
The offset shown above already accounts for daylight saving wherever it applies, because it comes from the time zone database rather than a fixed number. If Phoenix Islands is on a fixed offset all year, the panel simply never changes.
