IANA zones · the technical identifiers

The zone that resolve to CASEYT.

For software, always store the IANA identifier — never the abbreviation alone. The database keeps these zones distinct because their rules can, and historically did, diverge.

Does Casey Time observe daylight saving?
No, Casey Time has no daylight saving time. The station has changed between UTC+08:00 and UTC+11:00 several times since 2009, though, most recently returning to UTC+08:00 in March 2023.
Why doesn’t Casey Time use daylight saving?
Due to the extreme seasonal light variation at polar regions like Antarctica, daylight saving offers little benefit and is not needed.
Is Casey Time used outside of Antarctica?
No. Casey Time is used only at Casey Station. Its UTC+08:00 offset is the same as Perth in Western Australia.
