Template:Current hour in time zone

04

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template gives the current hour in the given time zone in 24-hour format.

It makes use of {{Current hour offset in time zone}} which, unless the dst parameter is used, automatically adjusts the hour according to daylight saving time (DST), if applicable. It also makes use of {{Current minute offset in time zone}}.

This template can be used in conjunction with {{Current minute in time zone}} to get the current time in a particular time zone. See below for the currently supported time zones.

Usage

{{Current hour 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 the current hour of UTC+0 time;
  In this case, instead of giving a time zone, an offset (e.g. −3, 1, 5, etc.) can also be given to get the current hour of UTC+offset time (which will not be adjusted according to DST);
• dst is 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.

Supported time zones

Currently the time zones that appear in both tables below are supported:

Hour offset

Abbreviations		Name			Notes
HST		Hawaii Standard Time	UTC−10:00		When dst is NOT set to "no", the *T, *ST and *DT variants of a particular time zone will produce the same output and can be used interchangeably. Otherwise (when using dst=no), *T and *ST will produce the offset without DST adjustment, and *DT will produce the offset with DST adjustment. DST is not observed in Hawaii and in Saskatchewan, Canada (except Lloydminster, SK, where MST/MDT is observed).

GMT	BST	Greenwich Mean Time / British Summer Time	UTC+00:00	UTC+01:00	When dst is NOT set to "no", both the GMT and BST variants of this time zone will produce the same output and can be used interchangeably. Otherwise (when using dst=no), GMT will produce the offset without DST adjustment, and BST will produce the offset with DST adjustment.
WET	WEST	Western European (Summer) Time	UTC+00:00	UTC+01:00	When dst is NOT set to "no", both the *ET and *EST variants of a particular time zone will produce the same output and can be used interchangeably. Otherwise (when using dst=no), *ET will produce the offset without DST adjustment, and *EST will produce the offset with DST adjustment.

AWT or AWST		Australian Western Standard Time	UTC+08:00		When dst is NOT set to "no", the *T, *ST and *DT variants of a particular time zone will produce the same output and can be used interchangeably. Otherwise (when using dst=no), *T and *ST will produce the offset without DST adjustment, and *DT will produce the offset with DST adjustment. DST is not observed in the AWT time zone.
ACT or ACST	ACDT	Australian Central Standard/Daylight Time	UTC+09:30	UTC+10:30
AET or AEST	AEDT	Australian Eastern Standard/Daylight Time	UTC+10:00	UTC+11:00

NZT or NZST	NZDT	New Zealand Standard/Daylight Time	UTC+12:00	UTC+13:00	When dst is NOT set to "no", the NZT, NZST and NZDT variants of this time zone will produce the same output and can be used interchangeably. Otherwise (when using dst=no), NZT and NZST will produce the offset without DST adjustment, and NZDT will produce the offset with DST adjustment.

Minute offset

Abbreviations		Name			Notes
HST		Hawaii Standard Time	UTC−10:00		The minute of standard time does not differ from the minute of daylight saving time (DST; if applicable).
