+12 (Auckland, Tonga):1am

 

These were hard to calculate, as different places in the same time zone do or do not have daylight saving times. So if you happen to spot any mistakes, please let us know!

ETA: To avoid confusion, I removed the “GMT”s. Due to daylight saving times, they can lead to misunderstandings. Hopefully the numbers and the locations used as examples will allow everyone to figure out what their starting time is, but if in doubt, don’t hesitate to let us know.

Also ETA: You can download this spreadsheet that has the start times and the corresponding hours.

    Sash, if you’re in Florida, then you’d be Eastern Time, correct? The start time for the east coast is 8am.

    This is incorrect for UTC+8 (Taipei). It’s also possibly wrong for others. I recommend people check this website: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock.

    Perhaps it would be easier in the future to go by UTC, which never has daylight savings time.
