UTC−2 time now

About UTC−2

UTC−2 is 2 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time: when it is noon UTC, it is 10:00 AM at UTC−2.

2 zones keep UTC−2 all year, covering 2 countries or territories: South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands and Brazil.

2 zones use it only in winter and move to UTC−1 in summer, for example Nuuk and Scoresbysund.

1 zone reaches it only in summer, from standard time UTC−3, for example Saint-Pierre. So the set of places on UTC−2 changes twice a year.

For a fixed offset in software, tzdata provides Etc/GMT+2; note the inverted sign of these POSIX-style names.

Abbreviations for UTC−2: PMDT (St. Pierre & Miquelon Daylight Time).

Since when UTC−2 has been used

The tzdata record of each zone that keeps UTC−2 as its standard time, with the date it moved to UTC−2 and the time it kept before. The earliest is Grytviken, on UTC−2 since Wednesday, January 1, 1890; the most recent is Scoresbysund, since Sunday, October 27, 2024.

UTC−2 converted to other offsets

Fixed offsets only, so the table holds on any date; a city that observes daylight saving time is an hour later than its standard column in summer.
