UTC Time Zone Offsets: A Reference From UTC-12 to UTC+14
Every time zone is defined as an offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Most are whole hours, but several are offset by 30 or even 45 minutes. The offsets below are standard time— many regions shift by an hour during daylight saving, so a city's real offset can change with the season.

Because of daylight saving time, converting between zones by hand is error-prone. To see the current time across cities — with DST handled automatically — use the time zone converter, and to work with absolute instants, the Unix timestamp converter.
