time zone error (or maybe just math)
-
Hi, all
Why does Windy (Web, Chrome, Win11 set to UTC, local US/Eastern DT) think my local time is seven (not four) hours off of Zulu? I'm looking at [north] Georgia at the moment and I see nothing in my settings that suggests a different time zone.

What do you mean specifically?
Are you located in Georgia or elsewhere? Or just looking at the detailed map of this state ?
On the map, the time is the local time of your location.
But if you check the weather forecast at a location, the time is the local time of that location.
See what I mean here -
@idefix37 The computer happens to be in Georgia on a local provider network, but the computer is also set to UTC. Since I don't usually look too far, I don't know if looking at Washington, D.C. will show a different local time than looking at Washington state.
That said, I noticed time inaccuracies in Google Voice in my browser, too, although Google Calendar appeared unaffected. This seems (searched "why does chrome have wrong time zone" for future victims) to be a not-uncommon Chrome browser problem, and resetting my time zone in Windows Settings appears to have taken care of the problem (although now everything is in UTC and I see no EDT, but I can live with that). Looks like Windy was an innocent bystander :-)
