Want to know what time it was 2 hours ago?
Here's how to calculate it across various programming languages and formats:
// PHP // Get time from 2 hours ago $pastDate = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('-2 hours')); // Get time 2 hours from now $futureDate = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('+2 hours')); // Using DateTime (recommended approach) $date = new DateTime(); $date->modify('-2 hours'); echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
// JavaScript // Get time from 2 hours ago const pastDate = new Date(Date.now() - 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000); // Get time 2 hours from now const futureDate = new Date(Date.now() + 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000); // Alternative approach using date methods const date = new Date(); date.setHours(date.getHours() - 2); console.log(date.toISOString());
# Python from datetime import datetime, timedelta # Get time from 2 hours ago past_date = datetime.now() - timedelta(hours=2) # Get time 2 hours from now future_date = datetime.now() + timedelta(hours=2) # Format the dates print(past_date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')) print(future_date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'))
2 hours ago from now it was 6:21:59 PM on April 24, 2025
Our calculator provides the exact date and time that will be 2 hours from the current moment, accounting for:
The time is calculated based on the current local time on your device. It adds exactly 2 hours to the current hour, minute, and second.
Currently, the tool calculates based on the present moment. Soon, however, youโll be able to manually enter a custom start timeโthis feature is in development.
Yes, the tool accounts for Daylight Saving Time (DST) based on the time zone settings of your device.
Yes, the tool will automatically recalculate 2 hours from now based on the current time if you refresh or revisit the page.
But you don't have to! Our page automatically refreshes every second to ensure that the โ2 hours from nowโ calculation stays accurate and up-to-date with the current time.
At present, you can take a screenshot of the result to share or save the time. Additional sharing options may be available in the future.
