UTC±00:00 is the following time:
- Coordinated Universal Time, the basis for the world's civil time, occasionally referred to by the name of its predecessor, Greenwich Mean Time.
- Western European Time (Portugal, UK).
As standard time (all year round)
The following is a list of places that use UTC as their standard time zone, but do not observe Daylight saving time:
West Africa
- Burkina Faso
- Côte d'Ivoire
- The Gambia
- Ghana
- Guinea
- Guinea-Bissau
- Liberia
- Mali
- Mauritania
- São Tomé and Príncipe
- Senegal
- Sierra Leone
- Togo
- Western Sahara
Atlantic Islands
- Greenland
- northeastern
- Danmarkshavn and surrounding area
- northeastern
- Iceland
- Saint Helena, Ascension Island and Tristan da Cunha (to UK)
Notes:
- The westernmost point where UTC with no DST is applied is Bjargtangar, at the northwest peninsula of Iceland (24°32' W). Time used there is 1 hour and 38 minutes ahead of physical time. This is the greatest deviation from physical time for UTC with no DST.
- The easternmost locale where UTC with no DST is applied is Bouvet Island, of Norwegian jurisdiction, at the South Atlantic Ocean (3°24' E).
As standard time (Northern Hemisphere winter only)
- Alderney
- Faroe Islands
- Guernsey
- Herm
- Ireland
- Isle of Man
- Jersey
- Portugal (with the exception of the Azores, which use UTC−01 with DST)
- Sark
- Spain (only Canary Islands; observes European Union DST rules)
- Morocco
- United Kingdom (GMT / BST)
Notes:
- The westernmost point where UTC with DST is applied is El Hierro, Canary Islands, Spain (18°00' W). Time used there is 2 hours and 12 minutes ahead of physical time in the summer, making for the greatest discrepancy in the UTC time zone.
- The easternmost settlement where UTC with DST is applied is Lowestoft in Suffolk, East Anglia, England (at just 1°45' E).
As daylight saving time (Northern Hemisphere summer only)
- Greenland - an eastern region around Ittoqqortoormiit (Scoresbysund)
- Portugal - the Azores only
As winter time
- Republic of Ireland[1] Note that Ireland uses Irish Standard Time[2] during the summer months and winter time during the winter months.
This is the reverse of the practice of most countries in the EU, but provides the same end results.
