Novosibirsk does not change its clocks
A fixed offset, all year round
Novosibirsk stays on Novosibirsk Standard Time at UTC+07:00 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 Novosibirsk from a country that does change clocks. The offset between you and Novosibirsk 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 Novosibirsk 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 Novosibirsk:
London (United Kingdom)
- From 25 October 2026: Novosibirsk is 7 hours ahead of London
- From 28 March 2027: Novosibirsk is 6 hours ahead of London

Clock time versus solar time
When the clock in Novosibirsk reads 12:00, the sun is not yet overhead — the civil clock runs 1 hour 28 minutes ahead of mean solar time here. That is a substantial gap, and it is the reason daily rhythms in Novosibirsk can feel shifted relative to the clock: sunrise, lunch and sunset all arrive later in clock terms than the number suggests.
