timezone-abbr-offsets
Timezone abbreviations mapped to offsets from UTC in minutes. May return unexpected results for ambiguous abbreviations.
Example
var timezones = console // -> 120console // -> -120console // -> -660
Explanation
This is a simple object with the timezone abbreviations from Wikipedia1 and one-character military timezones from http://timeanddate.com. When timezone abbreviations are ambiguous, the timezone that had more searches on Google Trends is used (like this). There were two cases where Google Trends couldn't help:
- CST: Stands for Central Standard Time in Australia and North America. This is mapped to UTC-06:00 (i.e.
-360
) - LHST: Stands for Lord Howe Standard Time and Lord Howe Summer Time. Google Trends didn't have enough search volume to make a comparison, so this is mapped to UTC+10:30 (i.e.
630
)
