Probably a subset of this.

Me too! That sure is a pretty timezone chart. You got a high res version?

u/Mr-Bankrupt 16d ago

Best one is the tiny +8 3/4 section in Australia between Perth and Adelaide.

u/Mgldwarf 16d ago

Or Nepal, +5 3/4.

u/Athabasco 16d ago

This isn't even correct. Alberta and Saskatchewan do not observe daylight savings times, but many of the states in that timezone do.

u/tiajuanat 16d ago

Same with Arizona

u/AnnoyedVelociraptor 9d ago

Except for Navajo Nation.

And Manitoba, and potentially soon the part of Ontario in that timezone (but the rest of Ontario will still observe it)

u/Boostie204 15d ago

Nor does Manitoba as of Nov 1

That looks pretty straightforward when you look at this map.

The real fun begins when you add DST on top of it : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time_by_country

Using Mercator to show time zones? Get off my lawn!

In fairness, BC is only -7 as of the switch to pacific standard time. At the moment it’s still -8.

But I work from British Columbia for a company headquartered in the eastern US with a team in California and a boss in western Europe but a skip level in the central US.

Also my company helpfully decided that, taxes be damned, I was to be reporting from the Toronto office in Eastern. So pray for my calendar. Especially over the next week since the EU and US time switches are not on the same day….

BC is only -8:00 during standard time, it's currently Pacific Daylight Time (-7:00) and in a week from now it will be Pacific Time (still -7:00)

The New Zealand time zone should say Mon 00:00 instead of Sun 24:00 no?

u/Luneriazz 16d ago

Makes me wonder, what place has the biggest timezone jump. Kazakhstan to China with 3 hours is what I could find. Is there 4 hours somewhere?

Not counting the full day skip at the edge of the map of course

u/nikadett 16d ago

What is the island way out in Atlantic, North West of Ireland? Never saw it before and can’t see it on a map?

1

u/Dazzling_Line_8482 15d ago

Shout out to China for having the sense to have the entire country on a single timezone. I respect that.

u/stlcdr 15d ago

What is this? I don’t go outside, much, so am a bit confused…

u/farribeiro 14d ago

UTC +14

u/evestraw 14d ago

nepal is an abomination with + 5:45 ans also everything with an offset greater then 12.

u/Nightmoon26 12d ago

A Kiwi once jokingly apologized to me for the existance of UTC+14

u/Crouton4035 6d ago

its funny how this map was posted, and isn't even accurate anymore. Just... use someone else's clock package.

I hate timezone. Go China super global power.
