Right now it is 4:00 am in all places whose local time zone is one hour behind UTC, because the current time is 5:46 am UTC on December 5, 2025.

Key examples

At this moment, 4:00 am local time corresponds approximately to these standard time zones (ignoring daylight saving changes):

• UTC−1 hour time zone (for example, parts of Cape Verde in standard time).
• Any ship or station currently observing “UTC−1” as its set zone.

Because 5:46 am UTC does not align exactly on the hour, it is currently 4:46 am in those UTC−1 locations rather than exactly 4:00 am, but 4 am “right now” refers to that same UTC−1 band.
