NZST – New Zealand Standard Time
NZST is UTC+12.
New Zealand Standard Time is used in New Zealand in winter (April to September).
In summer, places on NZST switch to NZDT (New Zealand Daylight Time, UTC+13). People often keep saying “NZST” all year, but strictly it's only correct in the standard-time months.
