Template:Daylight saving active/doc

This template returns either 0 or 1 to indicate if daylight saving time (DST) is active in the given time zone region:

0	DST is not active
1	DST is active

See below for the currently supported time zones. Note that if DST is only partially observed in a certain time zone, this template returns 1 if DST is active in that part (even though it is not observed/active in the other part).

During DST, the clock is set one hour ahead of standard time.

Usage

{{Daylight saving in time zone | time zone abbreviation | date/time value}}

Template parameters

This template prefers inline formatting of parameters.

Parameter		Description	Type	Status
time zone abbreviation	1	Abbreviation of the time zone for which it is determined if DST is active. If no time zone is given or if the given time zone is not supported, then the output will default to 0. Example CET	String	suggested
date/time value	2	Date and time for which it is determined if DST would be active in the given time zone. By default, if no value is given, it is determined if DST is active at the current time. Example 6 April 2018 23:00 CET	Date	optional

Supported time zones

From the list of time zone abbreviations, the following time zones are currently supported:

Abbreviations		Name			Notes
HST		Hawaii Standard Time	UTC−10:00		The *T, *ST and *DT variants of a particular time zone are considered the same region and will produce the same output, thus they can be used interchangeably. DST is not observed in Hawaii and in Saskatchewan, Canada (except Lloydminster, SK, where MST/MDT is observed). More details on the implementation→
HAT or HAST	HADT	Hawaii-Aleutian Standard/Daylight Time	UTC−10:00	UTC−09:00
AKT or AKST	AKDT	Alaska Standard/Daylight Time	UTC−09:00	UTC−08:00
PT or PST	PDT	Pacific Standard/Daylight Time	UTC−08:00	UTC−07:00
MT or MST	MDT	Mountain Standard/Daylight Time	UTC−07:00	UTC−06:00

GMT	BST	Greenwich Mean Time / British Summer Time	UTC+00:00	UTC+01:00	Both the GMT and BST variants of this time zone are considered the same region and will produce the same output, thus they can be used interchangeably. This time zone is essentially the same as WET/WEST, see below for more details.
WET	WEST	Western European (Summer) Time	UTC+00:00	UTC+01:00	Both the *ET and *EST variants of a particular time zone are considered the same region and will produce the same output, thus they can be used interchangeably. More details on the implementation→

EET	EEST	Eastern European (Summer) Time	UTC+02:00	UTC+03:00
AWT or AWST		Australian Western Standard Time	UTC+08:00		The *T, *ST and *DT variants of a particular time zone are considered the same region and will produce the same output, thus they can be used interchangeably. DST is not observed in the AWT time zone. More details on the implementation→
ACT or ACST	ACDT	Australian Central Standard/Daylight Time	UTC+09:30	UTC+10:30
AET or AEST	AEDT	Australian Eastern Standard/Daylight Time	UTC+10:00	UTC+11:00
