Daylight saving time is handled for you
Clocks in the US, Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand move by an hour twice a year — on different dates. India, China, Japan, the Gulf states and most of Asia and Africa do not change. Conversions here use your browser’s built-in, regularly updated time zone database, so the offset is always the one in force on the date you choose. For example, New York is 10½ hours behind India in winter but only 9½ hours behind in summer.
