About AWST

Australian Western Standard Time (AWST) is UTC+8. It is used in Perth and Western Australia.

Australian Western Standard Time is UTC+8 and Western Australia does not observe daylight saving — it has rejected it in four referendums, most recently in 2009. Perth therefore keeps the same offset all year while Sydney moves, so the gap between Australia's two largest business centres is two hours in winter and three in summer.

About BDT

Bangladesh Standard Time (BDT) is UTC+6. It is used in Bangladesh, all year.

Bangladesh Standard Time is UTC+6 with no daylight saving. It is more often written BST, which is where the trouble starts: BST also means British Summer Time at UTC+1, and the two readings are five hours apart. Converter sites split on which they answer for and rarely say. BDT is the unambiguous way to write it, and worth using in anything that matters.

Does this gap change with the seasons?

Neither AWST nor BDT shifts with the seasons, so this 2-hour difference holds all year. That is unusual enough to be worth relying on: most cross-continental gaps move twice a year.

This is the reason scheduling systems store an IANA zone such as Region/City rather than an offset or an abbreviation: the zone knows its own rules and the offset does not.
