Frequently Asked Questions
What does CST stand for?
CST is ambiguous: it can mean Central Standard Time (America/Chicago, UTC-6), China Standard Time (Asia/Shanghai, UTC+8), or Cuba Standard Time (America/Havana, UTC-5). Always use IANA timezone identifiers instead.
Why are timezone abbreviations unreliable?
Many abbreviations are shared by different timezones. IST means Indian Standard Time (UTC+5:30), Irish Standard Time (UTC+1), or Israel Standard Time (UTC+2). Use IANA identifiers for unambiguous timezone handling.
