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.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about DAVIST, daylight saving, and how to handle it in software. Can't find what you need? Email [email protected].
- What makes DAVIST offset unique?
- It sits at UTC+07:00 with no daylight saving time. Other Antarctic stations use different clocks, often matching the country that supplies them; McMurdo, for example, follows New Zealand time.
- How many timezones does DAVIST code cover?
- Just one: Davis Station, Australia’s research base in the Vestfold Hills of East Antarctica.
- Is there daylight saving in DAVIST?
- No, it does not observe daylight saving; the region stays on its current offset year-round.
- When did DAVIST most recently change offset?
- Davis has used UTC+07:00 since 1969, apart from two southern summers on UTC+05:00 (October 2009 to March 2010 and October 2011 to February 2012). It has been back on UTC+07:00 since February 2012.
- Does DAVIST have an official abbreviation?
- +07 is commonly used. It is less standardized than city-based abbreviations, but practical for Antarctic station listings.
