What is this?
A listing of all known time zone information for current use.
A description of the table columns will clarify this.
Time zone table
District(s): Some countries use more than one time zone. Sometimes there seems to be no difference with other zones for the same country. In earlier days there was a difference.
TZ zone name: the Unix TZ string time zone name as listed in the 'tz database'. The name is usually derived from a central place or the place with the most inhabitants, not necessarily the capital.
Just looking at a TZ zone name, it is in many cases not immediately clear to what geographical region the name refers. A list with alternative descriptions (not TZ endorsed!) could give a clue.
Zone time: the amount of hours:minutes to be added to the time at the zero meridian of Greenwich (UTC) to get the local time.
Time: An abbreviation of the time designation. In most cases this is not an official abbreviation. Where two abbreviations are given, the first one is for standard time, the second for daylight saving time.
DST rule: Some countries use daylight saving time (DST). 'DST rule' is the name of the rules, describing the on/off date and time for the daylight saving.
LMT: Local Mean Time. This is the 'natural' mean solar time for the time zone, excluding the equation of time. At the moments where the equation of time is zero, this is the amount of time to be added to UTC. Right then the sun passes the local meridian and is at its highest point in the sky.
This means that the sun is at its highest point at local time:
12 + zonetime + DST - LMT - EquationOfTime
Example: Kaxgar, China; location: 39:29°N, 075:59°E; LMT: 5:03:56; zone: 8; DST: 0; EoT on 2005-07-29: -0:06:28; this gives local time 15:02:32.
Over a year the equation of time can make a difference of between about + and - 18 minutes with the mean LMT time. The LMT time is calculated from the geographic longitude of a local place.
DST rule table
DST rule name: An arbitrary abbreviation for the daylight saving rule.
Valid: Sometimes a rule is only valid within a certain period of time.
The Rule lines in the TZ database itself mark transitions in time. The last transition stays in effect until the next transition or if there is none, then indefinitely.
on/off: 'on' means: from this date on daylight saving is observed, sometimes called 'summer time'. 'off' means: from this date on the standard time (winter time) is observed.
Date: Date formula for the DST switch. Some examples: Mar lastSun: means the last Sunday of March. 'Sat' is a Saturday, 'Fri' is a Friday, 'Thu' is a Thursday, etcetera. Apr Sun>=1: means the first Sunday on or immediately after April 1. Nov 2: November 2.
A calculator is available.
Time: Time for the DST switch. Important: sometimes the time is followed by a letter. The meaning of this letter is:
no letter or w: wall clock time, actual local time. s: local standard time (winter time) u or g or z: UTC time.
So, if a 'DST on' time is given as '2:00s', this means a switch on 2:00 local time. If a 'DST off' time is given as '2:00s', this means a switch on 3:00 local time (assuming a DST offset of 1 hour).
Offset: The amount of time to be added to the zone time. Usually 1 hour, but in one occasion 30 minutes.
How to calculate the time in another zone
My local time is A
My zone time is m
Currently, my DST offset is Aofs
His/hers local time is B
His zone time is n
Currently, his DST offset is Bofs
Local time for B = A - m - Aofs + n + Bofs (modulo 24 hours)
Example:
A: USA, Los Angeles 14:20 local time, DST is on.
B: Australia, Sydney, DST is off.
Local time for B: 14:20 - -8:00 - 1:00 + 10:00 + 0 = 31:20; modulo 24 = 7:20 (the following day).
A calculator is available.

The information on this page is mainly based on the tz database. This is a public domain database for the Unix time zone information program. Two major differences between this page and the 'tz database' are:
* The tz database lists all known time zone information, including historical information as early as 1970 and sometimes even earlier. This page lists only the current information which can be used today.
* The tz database is in computer readable form. This page is in human readable form.
More information on the 'tz database' can be found on the tz-link web page.
Countries are listed alphabetically by continent. See the index above.

Does no longer observe DST since 2005-03-15.
The central time zone with UTC+5 merged with the western time zone with UTC+4 to form one UTC+5 zone, by the end of 2004.
Kazakhstan is divided into more time zones. More detailed information on the zone boundaries can be found on the page Time zone boundaries for multizone countries

United States
New DST rules per 2007, according to:
Public Law 109-58, Energy Policy Act of 2005, Sec. 110. Daylight savings.
Indiana observes DST starting 2006 (April 02), but some counties changed their minds after that.
Official information can be found at govpulse.

The proposed law agreed upon by the Knesset Interior Committee on 2005-02-14 is that, for 2005 and beyond, DST starts at 02:00 the last Friday before April 2nd (i.e. the last Friday in March or April 1st itself if it falls on a Friday) and ends at 02:00 on the Saturday night before the fast of Yom Kippur.
Practical instructions:
DST on: find in our calculator: first Friday of April on/before day 1. This will also get the correct Friday if it is in March.
DST off: find Tishrei 10 in the Hebrew calendar, find the corresponding Gregorian date and trace backwards to the first Sunday 02:00h.
Bangladesh
Bangladesh started observing daylight saving time of 1 hour from June 19 2009 23h, and decided in October 2009 not to switch off DST.
By the end of 2009 the government decided that the clock will be put back 1 hour at Dec. 31 2009 24h.
The clock will be put forward (as DST) for 1h at March 31 2010 24h and this will stay in effect until Oct. 31 2010 24h.
