Illinois does use one time zone. Indiana has always used multiple time zones. Some counties have chosen not to use daylight savings time until 2006 mandatory use.. Various counties have chosen to switch time zones, daylight savings use. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Indiana
Various other states do use multiple time zones, with counties changing zones, but always using daylight savings, except Arizona (too hot in afternoons to go out) and Hawaii. Canada and Mexico generally follow US zone boundary and daylight saving switches. Russia has several time zones, but most have adopted a 2 hour change at the boundary. China is one very large time zone, resulting in a 3 hour change at a far western border crossing. A few countries have adopted a 30 minute offset and one a 15 minute offset. Kiribati is +14 so they share the same day of week with New Zealand, while at the same time as Hawaii. https://www.worldtimezone.com/index24.php On Wed, Sep 21, 2022 at 6:43 AM Paul Gilmartin <0000042bfe9c879d-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu> wrote: > > On Wed, 21 Sep 2022 06:27:56 -0500, John McKown wrote: > > >On Wed, Sep 21, 2022 at 6:02 AM Mark Jacobs wrote: > >> Just curious why JES2 displays the value as a UTC timestamp and not local > >> time. > > ... > >I guess the date could be rendered in the local time of the datacenter.
