base tzOffset set to 3600

[lcervo-diligent]

I set the base city (using the designated application web page) to London and the OPTIONS.tzOffset value (or the return value of clocktime.tzoffset()) is now set to 3600. I changed it to Paris and that value is 7200. Shouldn't it be 0 for London and 3600 for Paris?

The timezone offsets you observed are correct because they reflect the current Daylight Saving Time (DST) status. Both London and Paris are currently in DST:

• London's timezone offset is 3600 seconds (BST).
• Paris's timezone offset is 7200 seconds (CEST).

If it were not DST, London should be 0 seconds (GMT) and Paris should be 3600 seconds (CET).
