Frequently asked questions

Common questions about CHUUKT, daylight saving, and how to handle it in software. Can't find what you need? Email [email protected].

Does Chuuk observe daylight saving time?
No—Chuuk stays on a fixed UTC+10:00 year-round, thanks to its tropical location where day length barely changes.
Why was August 1, 1945, significant for this timezone?
That’s when Chuuk returned to UTC+10:00 after using Japanese time (UTC+09:00) during the Second World War. Its clock has not changed since.
How does Chuuk Time compare to Australian Eastern Standard Time?
When it’s not daylight saving season in eastern Australia, both regions share the same clock time, easy for real-time collaboration.
Is Chuuk Time ahead or behind UTC?
It’s always ten hours ahead of UTC, so 12:00 PM UTC is 10:00 PM in Chuuk.
Do any surrounding islands use a different offset?
Yes. Pohnpei and Kosrae, in eastern Micronesia, use UTC+11:00, one hour ahead of Chuuk. Yap, to the west, shares Chuuk’s UTC+10:00.
