Complete Time Zone Guide for Guyana

SyncMyTime displays accurate time for Georgetown. Guyana Time (GYT, UTC-4) is maintained year-round.

Time Zone History

Guyana adopted permanent UTC-4 after independence from Britain in 1966. The country has never observed daylight saving time. Despite geographic position in South America, Guyana maintains cultural and economic ties with Caribbean Community (CARICOM). The time zone reflects Guyana's position on South America's northern coast and facilitates regional coordination.

Culture & Daily Rhythm

Guyanese daily life blends African, Indian, indigenous Amerindian, and British colonial influences in South America's only English-speaking country. The workday typically runs 8 AM-5 PM. English is official language with Guyanese Creole widely spoken. Indian and African populations create distinct cultural celebrations (Diwali, Mashramani). Rice and roti reflect Indian influence. Cricket is national passion linking to Caribbean rather than South American soccer. Markets are vibrant. Interior rainforest regions maintain indigenous patterns.
