OpenersNotesSection(Spacer1)Details

The time zone gives the number of hours that must be added to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) to obtain local time.

(RefLink[$SystemTimeZone, paclet:ref/$SystemTimeZone]) is set at the beginning of your Wolfram System session to the time zone specified by the computer system on which it is running.

The Wolfram System assumes that the time returned by the system clock on your computer system is for the time zone corresponding to (RefLink[$SystemTimeZone, paclet:ref/$SystemTimeZone]).
