If your time zone has daylight savings time active (usually an hour) then you add one to the number of hours time difference.

For example, Melbourne, Australia (where I live) is usually +10 hours from UTC, however in summer when daylight savings is active it is +11 hours.

Many countries in the northern hemisphere observe DST, but not all. Daylight saving time begins in the northern hemisphere between March–April and ends between September–November. Standard time begins in the northern hemisphere between September–November and ends between March–April.

Changing daylight saving is a manual process on this forum. If you want to, edit your profile and add or subtract one from the time offset for your time zone.
