About these time zones
NZST: New Zealand Daylight Time
New Zealand Time (NZST/NZDT). New Zealand, including Auckland and Wellington. NZST is UTC+12; from late September to early April it is NZDT, UTC+13.

GMT: Coordinated Universal Time
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Equal to UTC for everyday use. The United Kingdom, Ireland, Portugal, Iceland and much of West Africa use GMT in winter or all year; the UK switches to BST (UTC+1) in summer.
