Template:Current minute offset in time zone
0
This template gives the current minute offset from UTC time for the given time zone.
It can be used in conjunction with {{Current hour offset in time zone}} to calculate the current time in a particular time zone. See below for the currently supported time zones.
Usage
{{Current minute offset in time zone|time zone}}
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 0;
In this case, instead of giving a time zone, an offset (e.g. -30, 45, etc.) can also be given;
This exact offset will then be used as the output (this functionality is merely included for template compatibility).
Supported time zones
The minute offset of standard time does not differ from the minute offset of daylight saving time (DST; if applicable).
From the list of time zone abbreviations, the following time zones are currently supported:
| Abbreviations | Name | DST currently active?{{Daylight saving active}} |
UTC offset h: {{Current hour offset in time zone}}; m: {{Current minute offset in time zone}} |
Time []{{Current hour in time zone}}:{{Current minute in time zone}} |
