... about TIME
Most weather info is presented in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time),
also known as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) or represented simply with a "z" for Zulu.
To figure out what time a photo was made, use the following table:
Atlantic Std/Eastern Daylight |
subtract 4 hours from UTC |
Eastern Std/Central Daylight |
subtract 5 hours from UTC |
Central Std/Mountain Daylight |
subtract 6 hours from UTC |
Mountain Std/Pacific Daylight |
subtract 7 hours from UTC |
Pacific Standard |
subtract 8 hours from UTC |
If you want to get the current, accurate time in both your time zone and UTC,
try this nifty link to a java version of the NIST Atomic Clock
Time zone converter - what time is it in (you choose)?

Caribbean weather links and tropical weather information on tropical depressions, tropical storms, and hurricanes, covered in depth, and updated frequently. WeatherCarib was born in 1998, with an emphasis on tropical weather links for the Caribbean and tropical Atlantic all the way to Africa. Since 2001, produced in the beautiful sailing charter and bareboat capital of the world, The British Virgin Islands, or BVI, which include Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke, Anegada, Norman Island, Peter Island, Cooper Island, Necker Island, Guana Island, Great Camanoe, and many more.
