Time in Dalaborn

In Dalaborn, the keeping of standard time is divided into two time zones, Dalaborn Western Coastal Time (UTC) and Dalaborn Central Standard Time (UTC+1). Time zones are established by national legislation.



Daylight Savings Time
Daylight Savings Time (also known as Summer Time) is observed throughout Dalaborn.

Dalaborn observes Summer Time from May the 21st to September 21st. Clocks are set forward by one hour during this period. The words "standard" and "summer" are added to the names of time zones to show if DST is applied or not; hence Dalaborn Western Coastal Standard Time is always UTC, while Dalaborn Western Coastal Summer Time is always UTC+1.

Accuracy and standards
The National Observatory located in Eron is responsible for time measurement in Dalaborn, and maintains its own atomic clock as part of this purpose. Time zones in Dalaborn are thus actually offsets from Dalaborn Western Coastal Standard Time, although by convention and for easy international comprehension the UTC offset is still the official and most-used way of expressing the time zones.
