Singapore to New York time
New York is 12 hours behind Singapore. Singapore uses Asia/Singapore (UTC+8); New York uses America/New_York (UTC−4).
When the time difference changes
The two places don't switch daylight saving time on the same days, so the gap shifts during the year:
- Sun, Nov 1, 2026: New York falls back an hour. Then New York is 13 hours behind Singapore.
- Sun, Mar 14, 2027: New York springs forward an hour. Then New York is 12 hours behind Singapore.
Best times to meet
Working hours (9 AM to 5 PM) don't overlap today. The best compromise times are below.
- 1 7:00 AM in Singapore = 7:00 PM (Sun) in New York
- 2 8:00 AM in Singapore = 8:00 PM (Sun) in New York
- 3 9:00 AM in Singapore = 9:00 PM (Sun) in New York
Jet lag and travel: Singapore to New York
Your body clock shifts 12 hours later (westward, the easier direction), though with a 12-hour gap it can go either way (eastward would take about 12 days). Expect about 8 days to adjust at CDC average rates (1 h/day east, 1.5 h/day west).
- Before you fly: bed 1 hour later for 2–3 nights.
- On arrival: eat, sleep and get daylight on New York time.
- Trips of 2 days or less: consider staying on Singapore time.
