Converting Coordinated Universal Time to Hong Kong Time
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and Hong Kong Time (HKT) are separated by a 8 hours time difference. HKT is 8 hours ahead of UTC. UTC is UTC+0, while HKT is UTC+8, used in Hong Kong, China.
When converting from UTC to HKT, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM UTC equals 5:00 PM HKT, 12:00 PM noon UTC equals 8:00 PM HKT, and 5:00 PM UTC equals 1:00 AM HKT. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.
Scheduling Across UTC and HKT
For professionals scheduling meetings between UTC and HKT, 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
UTC does not observe Daylight Saving Time, maintaining UTC+0 year-round. HKT does not observe DST, staying at UTC+8 year-round.
