World Time Zones

The Difference Between GMT and UTC:

 

  • UTC is a time standard that forms the base of time zones worldwide and is not related to any country. A time zone in any country is defined by its offset {±12} from UTC. So...
      • a time zone in any country  = UTC ± offset
      • GMT is the time zone of UK= UTC + 0
      • GMT = UTC

 

What About BST?

 

  • During Daylight Saving Time, clocks in the UK are set forward one hour to British Summer Time (BST). So...
      • BST = GMT + 1 = UTC + 1
