About GMT
GMT represents a time zone offset of zero — the baseline reference for all other zones, and the clock that every Unix epoch timestamp is counted against. As of right now, 2 IANA time zones observe this offset, covering 17 countries and 36 major cities in our directory.
This page mirrors UTC±0 — Greenwich Mean Time is by definition aligned with UTC, so the two offsets resolve to the same wall-clock time.
