よくある質問
What time is it in Lima right now?
The clock at the top of this page shows the current local time in Lima, Peru, updated every second from your device's clock and converted with the America/Lima time zone rules. Lima currently runs at UTC-5 (PET) all year round.
What time zone is Lima in?
Lima uses the IANA time zone America/Lima, written as PET all year. Every time on this page is computed from that zone rather than from a stored offset, so it follows the rules currently published in the time zone database.
