This template gives the current hour in the given time zone in 24-hour format.
It makes use of {{Current hour offset in time zone}} which, unless the dst parameter is used, automatically adjusts the hour according to daylight saving time (DST), if applicable. It also makes use of {{Current minute offset in time zone}}.
This template can be used in conjunction with {{Current minute in time zone}} to get the current time in a particular time zone. See below for the currently supported time zones.
Usage
{{Current hour in time zone|time zone[|dst=no]}}
- (
[...]means optional, do not include the square brackets when using this template)
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 the current hour of UTC 0 time;
In this case, instead of giving a time zone, an offset (e.g. −3, 1, 5, etc.) can also be given to get the current hour of UTC offset time (which will not be adjusted according to DST); dstis an optional parameter to disable automatic daylight saving time adjustment by setting the value to "no";
If a DST variant of a particular time zone exists, then the time is automatically adjusted according to DST by default.
