World Clocks (current time)

// UTC

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the global time standard. All time zones are defined as offsets from UTC. South Africa (SAST) is UTC+2, UK (GMT/BST) is UTC+0/+1.

// Daylight Saving

Many countries shift clocks forward in summer (DST). The US, EU, and Australia observe DST. South Africa, Japan, China, and India do not.

// SA Time (SAST)

South Africa Standard Time is UTC+2 year-round. SA is 1 hour ahead of most of Western Europe in winter, and the same in summer when Europe shifts to DST.

// Date Line

The International Date Line runs through the Pacific. Crossing it westward adds a day; crossing eastward subtracts one. This is why flights from the US to Asia can "arrive yesterday".
