About Guri-si Time Zone
Guri-si uses the Asia/Seoul IANA time zone, the standard time zone for all of South Korea. Its standard offset is UTC+9, also known as Korea Standard Time (KST), which means local time in Guri-si is 9 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time year-round.
South Korea does not currently observe daylight saving time, so Guri-si stays on UTC+9 throughout the year without seasonal clock changes. That makes scheduling more predictable than in places like New York or London, where offsets shift during DST transitions; for example, the time gap between Guri-si and New York is usually 14 hours when New York is on Eastern Daylight Time and 13 hours when New York is on Eastern Standard Time.
Guri-si is located in Gyeonggi Province, immediately east of Seoul in the Seoul Capital Area, so it shares the same time as nearby cities including Seoul, Incheon, Suwon, and Seongnam. Neighboring countries and regions differ slightly: Tokyo is also UTC+9, so there is no time difference, while Beijing and Shanghai run on UTC+8, making Guri-si 1 hour ahead of mainland China, and Dubai at UTC+4 is 5 hours behind Guri-si.
Guri-si City Details
Guri-si is a city in South Korea with a population of 195,236, making it part of the densely connected urban belt around the national capital. Because it sits within the greater Seoul economic region, the city is relevant for commuters, logistics operators, regional service businesses, and travelers moving between Seoul and eastern Gyeonggi areas.
The city’s coordinates are 37.5986° N, 127.1394° E, placing it just east of central Seoul and close to major transport corridors serving the capital region. This location matters for time planning because many business activities in Guri-si align with Seoul office hours, Korean public-sector schedules, and wider Northeast Asian trade timing.
The local currency is the South Korean won (KRW), which is the currency used for retail purchases, hotel payments, transport, and business invoicing across the country. The country dialing code is +82, so international callers reaching Guri-si from abroad will use South Korea’s +82 code followed by the local number format.
Time Differences from Guri-si
Guri-si is in UTC+9, so its time difference with other major cities depends partly on whether those cities are observing daylight saving time.
New York: Guri-si is typically 13 or 14 hours ahead of New York depending on the US season. When New York is on daylight saving time, 9:00 AM in Guri-si is 8:00 PM the previous day in New York; when New York is on standard time, 9:00 AM in Guri-si is 7:00 PM the previous day in New York.
London: Guri-si is typically 8 or 9 hours ahead of London depending on British Summer Time. When the UK is on GMT, 9:00 AM in Guri-si is 12:00 AM in London; when the UK is on BST, 9:00 AM in Guri-si is 1:00 AM in London.
Tokyo: Guri-si and Tokyo are in the same UTC+9 time zone, so there is no time difference. When it is 9:00 AM in Guri-si, it is also 9:00 AM in Tokyo, which is helpful for Korea-Japan business coordination, shipping, and regional meetings.
Sydney: Guri-si is usually 1 or 2 hours behind Sydney, because Sydney alternates between UTC+10 and UTC+11 with daylight saving time. When Sydney is on standard time, 9:00 AM in Guri-si is 10:00 AM in Sydney; during Australian daylight saving time, 9:00 AM in Guri-si is 11:00 AM in Sydney.
Dubai: Guri-si is 5 hours ahead of Dubai year-round because Dubai uses UTC+4 and does not observe DST. When it is 9:00 AM in Guri-si, it is 4:00 AM in Dubai, so late afternoon in Korea often works better for Gulf-region business calls than Korean morning hours.
For practical scheduling, a 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM slot in Guri-si often maps better internationally: that is 2:00 AM to 4:00 AM in New York during EDT, 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM in London during BST, 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Tokyo, 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM in Sydney during AEST, and 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM in Dubai. This makes Guri-si afternoon hours especially useful for UK, Middle East, and Asia-Pacific coordination, while US East Coast meetings usually require a Korea evening or a US early-morning compromise.
