Template:Current hour offset in time zone/doc

This template gives the current hour offset from UTC time for the given time zone.

If the dst parameter is not used, it uses {{Daylight saving in time zone}} to automatically adjust the offset according to daylight saving time (DST), if applicable.

This template can be used in conjunction with {{Current minute offset in time zone}} to calculate the current time in a particular time zone. See below for the currently supported time zones.

Usage

{{Current hour offset in time zone|time zone[|dst=no]}}

([...] means optional, do not include the square brackets when using this template)

where

• time zone is the desired time zone abbreviation (see below and also the list of time zone abbreviations);
  If no time zone is given or if the given time zone is not supported, then the output will default to 0;
  In this case, instead of giving a time zone, an offset (e.g. -3, 1, 5, etc.) can also be given;
  This exact offset will then be used as the output (this functionality is merely included for template compatibility);
• dst is an optional parameter to disable automatic daylight saving time adjustment by setting the value to "no";
  If a DST variant of a particular time zone exists, then the time is automatically adjusted according to DST by default.

Supported time zones

Currently the following time zones are supported:

Abbreviations		Name			Notes
HST		Hawaii Standard Time	UTC−10:00		When dst is NOT set to "no", the *T, *ST and *DT variants of a particular time zone will produce the same output and can be used interchangeably. Otherwise (when using dst=no), *T and *ST will produce the offset without DST adjustment, and *DT will produce the offset with DST adjustment. DST is not observed in Hawaii and in Saskatchewan, Canada (except Lloydminster, SK, where MST/MDT is observed).
HAT or HAST	HADT	Hawaii-Aleutian Standard/Daylight Time	UTC−10:00	UTC−09:00
AKT or AKST	AKDT	Alaska Standard/Daylight Time	UTC−09:00	UTC−08:00
PT or PST	PDT	Pacific Standard/Daylight Time	UTC−08:00	UTC−07:00
MT or MST	MDT	Mountain Standard/Daylight Time	UTC−07:00	UTC−06:00
SKT or SKST		Saskatchewan Standard Time	UTC−06:00
CT or CST	CDT	Central Standard/Daylight Time	UTC−06:00	UTC−05:00
ET or EST	EDT	Eastern Standard/Daylight Time	UTC−05:00	UTC−04:00
AT or AST	ADT	Atlantic Standard/Daylight Time	UTC−04:00	UTC−03:00
NT or NST	NDT	Newfoundland Standard/Daylight Time	UTC−03:30	UTC−02:30
GMT	BST	Greenwich Mean Time / British Summer Time	UTC+00:00	UTC+01:00	When dst is NOT set to "no", both the GMT and BST variants of this time zone will produce the same output and can be used interchangeably. Otherwise (when using dst=no), GMT will produce the offset without DST adjustment, and BST will produce the offset with DST adjustment.
WET	WEST	Western European (Summer) Time	UTC+00:00	UTC+01:00	When dst is NOT set to "no", both the *ET and *EST variants of a particular time zone will produce the same output and can be used interchangeably. Otherwise (when using dst=no), *ET will produce the offset without DST adjustment, and *EST will produce the offset with DST adjustment.
CET	CEST	Central European (Summer) Time	UTC+01:00	UTC+02:00
EET	EEST	Eastern European (Summer) Time	UTC+02:00	UTC+03:00
AWT or AWST		Australian Western Standard Time	UTC+08:00		When dst is NOT set to "no", the *T, *ST and *DT variants of a particular time zone will produce the same output and can be used interchangeably. Otherwise (when using dst=no), *T and *ST will produce the offset without DST adjustment, and *DT will produce the offset with DST adjustment. DST is not observed in the AWT time zone.
ACT or ACST	ACDT	Australian Central Standard/Daylight Time	UTC+09:30	UTC+10:30
AET or AEST	AEDT	Australian Eastern Standard/Daylight Time	UTC+10:00	UTC+11:00
KST		Korea Standard Time	UTC+09:00		DST is not observed in these time zones. It is not necessary to set dst.
JST		Japan Standard Time	UTC+09:00
NZT or NZST	NZDT	New Zealand Standard/Daylight Time	UTC+12:00	UTC+13:00	When dst is NOT set to "no", the NZT, NZST and NZDT variants of this time zone will produce the same output and can be used interchangeably. Otherwise (when using dst=no), NZT and NZST will produce the offset without DST adjustment, and NZDT will produce the offset with DST adjustment.
