Why was this downvoted on Oct 9 ? Please write a comment to help me understand your opinion. Why do you have to convert the date to new Date twice? Once when you call the function and a second time in the function? Sofia You are right. It's not really needed. I played around on wschools now and a simpified version also works.

The name Coordinated Universal Time was adopted in The Earth is broken into 24 time zones. Each time zone to the west of the prime meridian is a negative expression, and each time zone to the right is a positive. Because there is degrees around the Earth each degree change in longitude is equal to one hour. So, 12 p.

Determine your local time offset from UTC time. To do this, follow these steps on a Microsoft Windows-based computer:. Click Start , click Run , type timedate. Click the Time Zone tab, and then verify that your local time zone is selected. If your local time zone is not selected, click it in the list of available time zones.

The local time offset is shown at the start of each local region list item. Add the local time offset to the UTC time. For example, if your local time offset is , and if the UTC time is shown as , add -5 to The time setting when adjusted for offset is A. Note The date also follows UTC format. For example, if your local time offset is , and if the file's UTC time is shown as midnight on Monday, the adjusted time is on Sunday P.

Adjust for daylight saving time. UTC time is not adjusted to reflect daylight-saving time. If your time zone participates in daylight saving time, add the time difference to the file's offset-adjusted time when daylight saving time is in effect. For example, if daylight saving time in your time zone is one hour ahead of standard time, add one hour to the offset-adjusted time. Convert the hour time format to hour time format if your local time uses the hour format.

To make the conversion, follow these steps:. If the offset-adjusted time is between and , inclusive, subtract 12 from the adjusted time, and then append P.
