New Zealand Date and time

All parts of NZ are in the same time zone. 

DATE New Zealand follows Britain's lead with dates, and 1/4/2000 means April 1 not January 4.
TIME New Zealand Standard Time (NZST) is 12 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time, so at noon in New Zealand, it's midnight in London, 7pm in New York, 4pm in Los Angeles, and 10am in Sydney. From the first Sunday in October to the third Sunday in March, Daylight Saving puts the clocks one hour further forward.

During the winter months it is usually dark around 5.30-6pm. The Summer daylight savings days are light until around 8.30-9pm.
