Relationships To GMT

This TimeZone section defines a list of timezones and places.  The timezone format is as follows: [+ -]HH:MM where the [+ -]indicates before or after GMT.  The plus sign is optional, the minus sign is not.

The descriptive text is a city and country to associate with the timezone.  There may be multiple entries for a timezone to allow specifying multiple city/country entries or the timezone.

Use the following to calculate the difference between your time zone and someone elses.  For instance, if you live in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA (-5:00) and a friend lives in Los Angeles, California, USA (-8:00), the difference between the two timezones is 3 hours.  If your friend suggests you meet on IRC at 8:00PM California (Pacific) time, you would be able to figure out that the time would be 11:00PM in Charlotte's timezone (Eastern).

The ideal would be for your friend to always refer to GMT.  In this case they would say the meeting is on Saturday at 4:00AM GMT.  You local time is -5:00 GMT, so you would subtract 5 hours from 4:00AM Saturday and you would wind up with a meeting time of 11:00PM Friday.

Actually, you should also accustom yourself to using the 24-hour clock.  This is where time after 12-noon is refered to as 13:00 for 1:00PM, 17:00 for 5:00PM, 20:00 for 8:00PM, and so on.  This way of refering to time insures that there is never confusion between AM or PM times.  If I told you your airline flight was at 23:00, there is no way you could mistake it for any other time.  Whereas, if I said, "Your flight is at eleven", you might have a twelve hour wait in the airport if you showed up at 11:00AM.  Here's a graphic that will hopefully simplify the use of a 24-hour clock:

24 Hour Clock


The following GMT-local zone relationships are based on STANDARD times, if you live in an area that changes to a Daylight or Summer time, you have to adjust the relationship accordingly.  For instance, if your local relationship to GMT is -5, when you switch to Daylight/Summer time, the new relationship is -4.
