Computed on a date when UTC is genuinely in force — using today would be wrong for half the year, because a standard-time abbreviation does not exist in summer.

Common questions
What is the difference between UTC and JST?
JST is 9 hours ahead of UTC. UTC means Coordinated Universal Time at UTC+0, and JST means Japan Standard Time at UTC+9.
Which time zone does this page use for UTC?
UTC. An abbreviation is not a time zone — it is a label a zone wears for part of the year — so every calculation here uses a named IANA zone and says which one. If you are writing code, use UTC rather than the string "UTC".
Is UTC a daylight saving abbreviation?
No. UTC is the standard-time abbreviation. When daylight saving is in force, the same zone uses a different one.
