America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires · UTC−3
Argentina runs on Argentina Time (ART), a fixed UTC−3 offset. Clocks are never moved for daylight saving here, so the gap to UTC is identical in January and July. Argentina has held UTC−3 without seasonal change since 2009, even though its longitude would justify UTC−4, so the whole country runs an hour ahead of its solar time. The clock above reads the America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires zone directly and is accurate to the second.

Common questions
- What time is it in Argentina right now?
- The clock at the top of this page shows the current time in Argentina, updated every second, with today's date and the day of the week beneath it. Because Argentina is always UTC−3, the reading is UTC shifted by that fixed amount.
- What is the UTC offset in Argentina?
- UTC−3, all year: Argentina Time, abbreviated ART. There is no summer variant to remember.
- Does Argentina observe daylight saving time?
- No. Argentina stays on Argentina Time (UTC−3) throughout the year, so the offset to UTC never moves.
- What is the IANA timezone for Argentina?
- America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires. That is the identifier to use in code (a database column, a cron schedule, an Intl.DateTimeFormat call), because it carries the full history of offset and daylight-saving changes for Argentina rather than one fixed number.
