Set Local Offset
The Local Offset equals the difference in time (in 15-minute increments) from UTC (or GMT) to
your time zone. Locations west of the Prime Meridian have negative offsets and locations east of
the Prime Meridian have positive offsets. For example, Karachi is +5 hours and New York is -5
hours offset from UTC – see Figure 7.5.
