General remarks

What is this?
A listing of all known time zone information for current use.
A description of the table columns will clarify this.

Time zone table


DST rule table

How to calculate the time in another zone
My local time is A
My zone time is m
Currently, my DST offset is Aofs
His/hers local time is B
His zone time is n
Currently, his DST offset is Bofs
Local time for B = A - m - Aofs + n + Bofs (modulo 24 hours)
Example:
A: USA, Los Angeles 14:20 local time, DST is on.
B: Australia, Sydney, DST is off.
Local time for B: 14:20 - -8:00 - 1:00 + 10:00 + 0 = 31:20; modulo 24 = 7:20 (the following day).
A calculator is available.

Source
The information on this page is mainly based on the tz database. This is a public domain database for the Unix time zone information program. Two major differences between this page and the 'tz database' are:
* The tz database lists all known time zone information, including historical information as early as 1970 and sometimes even earlier. This page lists only the current information which can be used today.
* The tz database is in computer readable form. This page is in human readable form.
More information on the 'tz database' can be found on the tz-link web page.

New DST rules per 2007, according to:
Public Law 109-58, Energy Policy Act of 2005, Sec. 110. Daylight savings.
Indiana observes DST starting 2006 (April 02), but some counties changed their minds after that.
Official information can be found at govpulse.

The proposed law agreed upon by the Knesset Interior Committee on 2005-02-14 is that, for 2005 and beyond, DST starts at 02:00 the last Friday before April 2nd (i.e. the last Friday in March or April 1st itself if it falls on a Friday) and ends at 02:00 on the Saturday night before the fast of Yom Kippur.
Practical instructions:
DST on: find in our calculator: first Friday of April on/before day 1. This will also get the correct Friday if it is in March.
DST off: find Tishrei 10 in the Hebrew calendar, find the corresponding Gregorian date and trace backwards to the first Sunday 02:00h.
