Understanding UTC Offsets
UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the primary time standard. Time zones are expressed as offsets from UTC:
- Positive offsets (+): Time zones ahead of UTC (e.g., Asia, Australia)
- Negative offsets (-): Time zones behind UTC (e.g., Americas)
- Zero offset: UTC itself, also known as GMT
Daylight Saving Time Considerations
Many regions observe Daylight Saving Time, which shifts the clock forward by one hour during summer months. Our converter automatically accounts for DST transitions, ensuring accurate conversions year-round.
