local times

Zone-specific clock readings

Local times refers to the time of day in different places, each determined by its geographic location or time zone.

The plural acknowledges that the same moment corresponds to different clock readings around the world: The meeting is scheduled for 3 PM Eastern, but check your local times.

Often used when coordinating across regions or when a single event affects multiple zones: Broadcasts will air at 8 PM local times.
