How to: Track Multiple Time Zones with the GMT Monster

WHAT IS GMT?

Greenwich Mean Time, or "GMT" for short, is the time zone at zero degrees of longitude, against which all other time zones around the globe are measured with a +/- indicator. GMT is also synonymous with Coordinated Universal Time, or "UTC." For example, the time in Detroit (US Eastern Time Zone) can be displayed as:

  • Detroit, MI (Standard Time) = "GMT/UTC -5"
  • Detroit, MI (Daylight Savings Time) = "GMT/UTC -4"

In other words, if it's 12pm in Greenwich, it's 7am in Detroit (or 8am during Daylight Savings Time)
