Template:Current hour offset in time zone
0
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); dstis 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.
