Colombo does not observe daylight saving time — it stays at UTC+5:30 all year round.
Colombo is 9h 30min ahead of New York and does not observe daylight saving time, so this difference stays constant all year round — unlike London, which changes clocks twice a year. Colombo uses a 30-minute offset (UTC+5:30) instead of a whole hour — like a handful of countries, including India and Nepal, that split the difference between whole-hour zones. Sri Lanka is an island nation, so every city we track there shares Colombo's single time zone.
