Definition and Usage. getTimezoneOffset() returns the difference between UTC time and local time. getTimezoneOffset() returns the difference in minutes. For example, if your time zone is GMT+2, -120 will be returned.
Timezone offset is the time difference in hours or minutes between the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and a given time zone. The JavaScript getTimezoneOffset() method is used to find the timezone offset. It returns the timezone difference in minutes, between the UTC and the current local time.
(GMT-5:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)Add the local time offset to the UTC time. For example, if your local time offset is -5:00, and if the UTC time is shown as 11:00, add -5 to 11. The time setting when adjusted for offset is 06:00 (6:00 A.M.). Note The date also follows UTC format.
The BaseUtcOffset property returns the difference between UTC and the time zone's standard time; the GetUtcOffset method returns the difference between UTC and the time zone's time at a particular point in time.
If you need to take daylight savings time into account, you can use something like this:
Time.now.in_time_zone('America/New_York').utc_offset If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
