For those who do not know what Time Zone they are in take a look at this image:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3d/Timezones_optimized.png thanks to Wikipedia! if you are on 56k or lower it might take time to load sense it is a large image and it is PNG Some example from Wikipedia! The definition for time zones can be written in short form as UTC±n (or GMT±n), where n is the offset in hours. Here are some examples: San Francisco, California, USA: UTC-8 (e.g. if it is 12:00 UTC, then it is 04:00 in San Francisco) Toronto, Ontario, Canada: UTC-5 (e.g. if it is 12:00 UTC, then it is 07:00 in Toronto) Stockholm, Sweden: UTC+1 (e.g. if it is 12:00 UTC, then it is 13:00 in Stockholm) Cape Town, South Africa: UTC+2 (e.g. if it is 12:00 UTC, then it is 14:00 in Cape Town) Mumbai, India: UTC+5:30 (e.g. if it is 12:00 UTC, then it is 17:30 in Mumbai) Tokyo, Japan: UTC+9 (e.g. if it is 12:00 UTC, then it is 21:00 in Tokyo) Where the adjustment for time zones results in a time at the other side of midnight from UTC, then the date at the location is one day later or earlier. Some examples: Cairo, Egypt: UTC+2 (e.g. if it is 23:00 UTC on Monday, then the time in Cairo is 01:00, Tuesday) Wellington, New Zealand: UTC+12 (e.g. if it is 21:00 UTC on Monday, then the time in Wellington is 09:00, Tuesday) New York City, USA: UTC-5 (e.g. if it is 02:00 UTC on Tuesday, then the time in NY is 21:00, Monday) Honolulu, Hawaii, USA: UTC-10 (e.g. if it is 06:00 UTC on Tuesday, then the time in Honolulu is 20:00, Monday) The time zone adjustment for a specific location may vary due to the use of daylight saving time. For example New Zealand, which is usually UTC+12, observes a one-hour daylight saving time adjustment during the southern hemisphere summer, resulting in a local time of UTC+13.
