Lord Howe Standard Time Zone - LHST

Lord Howe Standard Time is ten and a half hours ahead of the Coordinated Universal Time standard, written as an offset of UTC + 10:30. That means to find the standard time in the zone you must add ten and a half hours to Coordinated Universal Time.

Lord Howe Standard Time is considered a nonstandard time zone because it does not have an hourly incremental difference like most other zones. Instead, there's an additional 30 minute time difference between this zone and standard time.

Territories observing the time zone are primarily in Australia. It runs through Lord Howe Island.

During fall to winter months Lord Howe Standard Time or LHST is used, and then during Daylight Saving (spring to summer months) Lord Howe Daylight Time or LHDT is used.
