What time is it in area code 324?
Area code 324 is in the Eastern time zone: UTC−5 in winter and UTC−4 while daylight saving time is in effect. Clocks go forward on 8 March 2026 and back on 1 November 2026. When it is 9 am in 324, it is 8 am Central, 7 am Mountain and 6 am Pacific – so a 9 am call from here reaches the west coast before the working day starts there. The code's largest rate centers are JACKSONVL, FERNADNBCH and MAXVILLE, as NANPA abbreviates them. Other codes keeping the same time in Florida: 239, 305, 321, 352, 386, 407, 561 and 645.
Clocks run in your browser from the IANA time zone database, so they stay right between page rebuilds.

Questions about 324 and time
What time is it in area code 324?
The clock above shows it live. 324 keeps Eastern time, UTC−5 in winter and UTC−4 in summer.
Does area code 324 observe daylight saving time?
Yes. Clocks go forward on 8 March 2026 and back on 1 November 2026.
Is 324 the same time as New York?
Yes – both keep Eastern time.
Why does a 324 caller reach me at an odd hour?
Two common reasons. Either the clocks differ by more than you expected – the offset changes twice a year and not everywhere on the same date – or the caller ID is not really 324 at all. Spam callers fake a local-looking number, so the displayed code says nothing about where the call came from.
