Frequently asked about UTC+3

What's the difference between UTC+3 and GMT+3?

Functionally none — GMT and UTC are aligned to within a fraction of a second. UTC is the modern atomic-clock-based standard; GMT is the older astronomical Greenwich-meridian standard. For everyday timekeeping they are interchangeable, so UTC+3 and GMT+3 resolve to the same wall-clock time.
