About NZDT

New Zealand Daylight Time (NZDT) is UTC+13. It is used in New Zealand from late September to early April.

New Zealand Daylight Time is UTC+13, one of the few offsets past twelve hours and therefore a full calendar day ahead of most of the Americas. New Zealand's summer is the northern hemisphere's winter, so NZDT applies over Christmas — the opposite of every northern daylight-saving abbreviation, and a common mistake in end-of-year scheduling.

About AKST

Alaska Standard Time (AKST) is UTC−9. It is used in Anchorage and the rest of Alaska in winter.

Alaska Standard Time is UTC−9, one hour behind Pacific Standard Time. Alaska observes daylight saving on the US schedule, moving to AKDT at UTC−8 in summer. The state is wide enough to span four time zones geographically and chooses to run on one for practical reasons, which is why the sun can rise at very different clock times at either end of it.

Does this gap change with the seasons?

Neither NZDT nor AKST shifts with the seasons, so this 22-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.

Frequently asked questions

What time is 9:00 AM NZDT in AKST?

9:00 AM NZDT is 11:00 AM AKST (previous day).

Is AKST ahead of NZDT?

AKST is 22 hours behind NZDT.

Which time zone does this use?

NZDT is UTC+13 and AKST is UTC−9. Both abbreviations denote a single fixed offset, so this conversion never shifts with daylight saving — what changes is which abbreviation a place is using at the time.
