This template gives the current minute offset from UTC time for the given time zone.

It can be used in conjunction with {{Current hour offset in time zone}} to calculate the current time in a particular time zone. See below for the currently supported time zones.

Usage

{{Current minute offset in time zone|time zone}}

where

  • time zone is the desired time zone abbreviation (see below and also the list of time zone abbreviations);
    If no time zone is given or if the given time zone is not supported, then the output will default to 0;
    In this case, instead of giving a time zone, an offset (e.g. -30, 45, etc.) can also be given;
    This exact offset will then be used as the output (this functionality is merely included for template compatibility).
