France, including its overseas territories, has the most time zones with 12 (13 including its claim in Antarctica and all other counties). Many countries have daylight saving time, one added hour during the local summer, but this list does not include that information. The UTC offset in the list is not valid in practice during daylight saving time.
This is because Fairbanks is 51 minutes (1 hour and 51 minutes at Daylight Savings Time) ahead of its idealized time zone (as most of the state is in one time zone) and Alaska observes daylight saving time. (Fairbanks is at about 147.72 degrees west, corresponding to UTC−9 hours 51 minutes, and is on UTC−9 in winter.)
Daylight saving time ends on Nov. 3, 2024. Here's everything to know, from when the clocks go back to how to adjust your routine to avoid negative health effects and more.
The main purpose of this page is to list the current standard time offsets of different countries, territories and regions. Information on daylight saving time or historical changes in offsets can be found in the individual offset articles (e.g. UTC+01:00) or the country-specific time articles (e.g. Time in Russia).
John Simpson's native map dated 1855 has the name "Otkiawik", which was later misprinted on a British Admiralty chart as "Otkiovik." [ 11 ] The former name Barrow was derived from Point Barrow and was originally a general designation because non-native Alaskan residents found it easier to pronounce than the Inupiat name.
Ennis, Alaska is modeled on real towns like Utqiaġvik, formerly known as Barrow. Ennis isn't a real town, but the show was based on a real area in the northernmost state: North Slope Borough, Alaska.
The Alaska Time Zone observes standard time by subtracting nine hours from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC−09:00). During daylight saving time its time offset is eight hours ( UTC−08:00 ). The clock time in this zone is based on mean solar time at the 135th meridian west of the Greenwich Observatory .
