Thank Robert.

I need to process times in various dates around the year and display
them. That is easy as the time is sent to me as String and I know that
it is always GMT+0100. The problems is that I need to countdown to the
time. I cannot compensate for different time zones because
timezoneOffset () doesn't return a reliable answer.

With no way of knowing whether daylight saving is turned on or off and
no way of knowing what's the time offset, how can this be done?

Does UTC hold the solution here?

Thanks, Yotam.

Yes, you can test by changing the date on your machine to not be in
daylight savings and you should see your timezone offset displayed
correctly then.

Ran into this myself once before.
