Time in Majuro, Marshall Islands

Majuro does not change its clocks
A fixed offset, all year round
Majuro stays on Marshall Islands Time at UTC+12:00 every day of the year. There is no spring-forward or fall-back here, which puts it with the majority: most of the world's time zones do not observe daylight saving.
That sounds like it makes scheduling simpler, and locally it does — but it introduces a different trap for anyone working with Majuro from a country that does change clocks. The offset between you and Majuro is not constant: it changes when your clocks move, even though nothing changed here. A recurring call that has run at the same local time for months will shift by an hour, from your side, without anyone editing the invite.
When the gap to Majuro changes
Dates in the next year where the difference shifts, by counterpart city
The difference between two cities is not a constant. It changes whenever either side moves its clocks — and because regions switch on different dates, there are short windows each year when the usual gap is wrong. These are the dates that matter for Majuro:
Singapore (Singapore)
Neither Majuro nor Singapore changes its clocks in the next year, so the gap between them stays fixed. One less thing to track.
Tokyo (Japan)
Neither Majuro nor Tokyo changes its clocks in the next year, so the gap between them stays fixed. One less thing to track.
Los Angeles (United States)
- From 14 March 2027: Majuro is 19 hours ahead of Los Angeles
Daylight and the sun over Majuro

Longest day

Yearly swing
0h 49m between them
Day length here barely changes: 12h 32m at its longest and 11h 43m at its shortest, a difference of only 49 minutes across the whole year. Majuro is close enough to the equator that the seasons barely register in daylight terms, which is part of why daylight saving would serve no purpose at this latitude.
Clock time versus solar time

How Majuro's clock got here
Read from the IANA Time Zone Database, the same rules Linux, macOS and Android use
Majuro last changed its standard offset 125 years ago, in 1901, when it moved from UTC+11:32 to UTC+12 — 28 minutes in a single step.
Before any of this, Majuro kept local mean time — solar noon by definition — at UTC+11:32, until 1901. Standard time zones were an attempt to replace that with something people could agree on, and the Majuro clock still carries the residue of that original figure.
Every date above is a record in the IANA Time Zone Database, not an estimate. The database is maintained by volunteers who track official announcements; if a government changes its rules, these figures change with it.
