 | This article may be confusing or unclear to readers. In particular, it defines the UTC offset in terms of "time offset", but Time offset simply redirects back here. (February 2012) |
The UTC offset is the difference in hours and minutes from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for the time used in a particular time zone. Much of the Western world employs one time offset for standard time and another one (typically an hour later) for daylight saving time.
