Below is a list of time zones and their modifier for summer and winter time.

If you live in a location that does not use Daylight Savings, then you will always use the Winter time table.

Daylight Savings time (ie summer time) begins in the United States on the first Sunday in April and ends on the last Sunday in October.

Daylight Savings time (ie summer time) begins in the UK/EU on the last Sunday in March and ends on the last Sunday in October

HADT -9
AKDT -8
PDT -7
MDT -6
CDT -5
EDT -4
ADT -3
NDT -2.5
GMT 0
BST +1
IST +1

CEST +2
EEST +3

Winter time

HAST -10
AKST -9
PST -8
MST -7
CST -6
EST -5
AST -4
NST -3.5

Not sure of your time zone abbreviation?
Here's a standard to summertime abbrev table for the above.

This should hopefully solve any problems if someone doens't know the time differance between where they are and the event timezone posted for an event.

If I have missed any timezones, please reply and I'll add them in.

So we agreed to do times in GMT to make the rest of the maths easy right?

Turke...I don't make any rules here. The point of the time zone table is so it doesn't matter. My only suggestion is that event planners link to the post when they make their event posts.

Mikey...Why are you confused? :D I edited the main post.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I hope I've got everyone covered now.

Actually, it's

EAST +10
EADT +11

We don't have daylight saving in Queensland, and so we remain +10 when the southern states move to +11.

Just to make things confusing. ;)
