User:Thayts/Userboxes/DST in user time zone
Appearance
< User:Thayts | Userboxes
![]() | It is approximately 01:52 where this user lives. | ![]() |
With this userbox you let everyone know what time it is at your place, simply by providing your time zone.
It makes use of the {{Current hour in time zone}} and {{Current minute in time zone}} templates, which automatically adjust the time according to daylight saving time (DST). Please refer to the documentation of those templates to see which time zones are supported. Instead of giving a time zone, an offset can also be given (see below).
Clicking the refresh icon will refresh the time by purging your user page.

Otherwise (i.e. automatic daylight saving time adjustment is enabled, which is the default), the results will be the same and the abbreviations can be used interchangeably.
