This is especially helpful when sending a confirmed meeting slot to a distributed team, a freight partner, or a customer support group so each participant sees the appointment in their own local time automatically.
About Łomża Time Zone
Łomża uses the Europe/Warsaw IANA time zone, the standard time zone reference for most of Poland. The city follows Central European Time (CET), UTC+1 during the standard-time part of the year and Central European Summer Time (CEST), UTC+2 during daylight saving time. This means Łomża is aligned with major Central European cities such as Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, and Vienna for much of the year.
Daylight saving time in Łomża follows the European Union schedule. Clocks move forward on the last Sunday in March and move back on the last Sunday in October; for 2026, that means the shift to summer time occurs on 29 March 2026, and the return to standard time occurs on 25 October 2026. During summer, Łomża is one hour ahead of the UK and usually six hours ahead of New York, while in winter it remains one hour ahead of London and typically six hours ahead of US Eastern Time unless the US and Europe are in different DST transition weeks.
Geographically, Łomża is in northeastern Poland, in the Podlaskie Voivodeship region, and it shares the same national time standard as the rest of Poland. To the east, nearby countries such as Lithuania use Eastern European Time/Eastern European Summer Time, which is generally one hour ahead of Łomża, while to the west Germany shares the same CET/CEST pattern as Poland. That makes Łomża well positioned for cross-border business timing within Central Europe while still requiring attention when coordinating eastward with Baltic markets.
Łomża City Details
Łomża has a population of 63,723, making it a mid-sized Polish city with regional importance rather than a major metropolitan time hub like Warsaw or Kraków. Its geographic coordinates are 53.17806° N, 22.05935° E, placing it in northeastern Poland, north-east of Warsaw and within reach of regional road links used for domestic trade, public administration, and local services.
The local currency in Łomża is the Polish złoty (PLN), which is the national currency used across Poland for retail payments, salaries, transport, accommodation, and business invoicing. If you are arranging travel, vendor payments, or expense planning, prices and transactions in Łomża will normally be quoted in PLN rather than euros, even though Poland is closely integrated with the EU economy.
The country dialing code is +48, so international calls to Łomża use Poland’s phone prefix before the local number. This is relevant when confirming hotel reservations, contacting municipal offices, speaking with logistics providers, or arranging business meetings from abroad.
Time Differences from Łomża
Łomża’s time difference with other major cities changes slightly through the year because daylight saving transitions do not always happen on the same dates worldwide. In general, Łomża is closely aligned with continental Europe, one hour ahead of London, several hours ahead of North America, and behind Asia-Pacific business centers such as Tokyo and Sydney.

For practical scheduling, the best overlap for same-day business calls is usually Łomża–London in the morning, Łomża–Dubai around late morning to early afternoon, and Łomża–New York in Łomża afternoon. Tokyo and Sydney often require either an early Łomża start or a late-day Asia-Pacific meeting because the workday overlap is narrower.
Frequently Asked Questions
What time zone is Łomża in?
Łomża is in the Europe/Warsaw time zone, which is the standard IANA time zone used for Poland. This means the city follows CET (UTC+1) in standard time and CEST (UTC+2) during daylight saving time, the same as Warsaw, Gdańsk, Wrocław, and most of Central Europe.
Does Łomża observe daylight saving time?
Yes, Łomża observes daylight saving time under Poland’s national and EU time rules. Clocks move forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October; for 2026, those dates are 29 March 2026 and 25 October 2026, so the local offset changes between UTC+1 and UTC+2 during the year.
What is the time difference between Łomża and New York?
Łomża is usually 6 hours ahead of New York, although this can briefly become 5 hours during the weeks when the US and Europe have not yet switched clocks on the same dates. A simple example is that 9:00 AM in Łomża is usually 3:00 AM in New York, which means afternoon in Poland is generally the most realistic window for live calls with the US East Coast.
What is the best time to call Łomża from the US or UK?
From the UK, a good time to call Łomża is usually 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM London time, which corresponds to 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in Łomża for most of the year. From the US East Coast, the most practical business overlap is often 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM New York time, which maps to roughly 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM in Łomża when the standard 6-hour gap applies.
What is the UTC offset for Łomża?
Łomża uses UTC+1 during standard time and UTC+2 during daylight saving time. If you are entering a manual offset into scheduling software, travel systems, or server settings, you should use Europe/Warsaw rather than a fixed UTC value so the March and October clock changes are handled correctly.
What currency does Łomża use?
Łomża uses the Polish złoty (PLN), the official currency of Poland. This matters for travelers booking hotels, paying restaurant bills, or arranging local transport, and it also matters for businesses issuing invoices or expense claims because local prices are normally denominated in PLN rather than EUR.
Is Łomża on the same time as Warsaw?
Yes, Łomża and Warsaw are on exactly the same time because both use the Europe/Warsaw time zone. There is no regional time variation within Poland, so if it is 2:00 PM in Warsaw, it is also 2:00 PM in Łomża.
How far ahead is Łomża compared with London?
Łomża is generally 1 hour ahead of London because Poland uses CET/CEST while the UK uses GMT/BST. For example, when it is 9:00 AM in Łomża, it is typically 8:00 AM in London, which makes UK morning meetings relatively easy to coordinate with Polish office hours.
