Local Time Zone

Bubble up your excitement, folks! We're diving right into the rhythm of Tulsa time. Tulsa, drenched in every shade of American culture, finds itself nestled comfortably within Central Standard Time (CST). That's UTC-6 for any time-trotters out there. And remember, from the second Sunday of March until the first Sunday of November, Tulsa dons the cloak of Central Daylight Time (CDT) which is UTC-5. It's almost as if the city has its very own time warp!

Time Difference to major World Cities

Now, let's segue from Tulsa's local time to how it's ticking alongside some of the world's most vibrant cities. Giddy up, globetrotters!

  • New York City: Hey, guess what? When it's high noon in NYC (Eastern Standard Time, or EST), only an hour has passed since Tulsa's residents finished their morning coffee. That's right - Tulsa is typically just an hour behind the Big Apple!

  • London: When the London Eye looks out at 6 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), Tulsa is quietly relishing its 12 p.m. lunch hour. So if you're craving a late-night fanciful chat with your friends in merry old England, be prepared for some very sleepy Tulsans!

  • Sydney: Brace yourself for this time-twisting tale. When Sydney, Australia enjoys breakfast at 9 a.m. Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST), it's 5 p.m. of the previous day in Tulsa! Talk about a Down Under disconnect, amirite?

  • Tokyo: As the lights of Tokyo begin to twinkle at 8 p.m. in Japan Standard Time (JST), Tulsa is just about to get started with its day at 6 a.m. A karaoke night in Tokyo, then, might call for a very early morning jam session in Tulsa!

  • Mumbai: When the clock in Mumbai's bustling streets chime at 7 p.m. Indian Standard Time (IST), it's 7:30 a.m. in Tulsa. It's quite the chai-coffee blend, really!

Navigating through time can be a whirlwind, especially when traversing through a world as diverse as ours. But don't worry, Tulsa's time-traveling tales are here to lend you a hand. Stay tuned in and you might just tune right into synchrony with fascinating cities across the world. Tik-tok, fellow globetrotters. Keep on ticking!

Hey, I’m Evan! Even though I’ve been bitten by a piranha, left stranded in the Sahara when my camel ditched me, and even spent a night in a Bhutanese jail over a supposedly stolen fruit (I swear I didn’t take it!), I still love traveling so much I don’t think I’ll ever stop. With over 130 countries under my belt, I’m always on the lookout for the next wild adventure… hopefully with fewer bites, camel betrayals, and misunderstandings over fruit!
