Lord Howe Island is currently 14h 30min ahead of New York. Because Lord Howe Island observes daylight saving time, this gap shifts by about an hour twice a year. Lord Howe Island uses a 30-minute offset (UTC+10:30) instead of a whole hour — like a handful of countries, including India and Nepal, that split the difference between whole-hour zones. Australia spans 9 different time zones among the cities we track, so Lord Howe Island's local time can differ from other Australia cities.
