It makes absolutely no sense in a hot climate. It's a nightmare.

Help understanding time zones.

Hi everyone,

I need to make a call to LA.

I need to rind at 11:30AM LA time.

I am struggling to understand the time difference.

Are they 8 hours behind us or 7 with day light savings time?

This site doesn't help:

Does anyone know what time I will need to call from the UK to get through at 11:30AM LA time.

Many Thanks
