About Fiji Time (FJT)
Fiji Time (FJT, IANA: Pacific/Fiji) is the civil time of the Republic of Fiji, set at UTC+12:00. Fiji observes Daylight Saving Time (switching to FJST = UTC+13) from approximately early November to mid-January each year per Fijian government decree (the exact schedule varies by year — typically announced 1-2 months in advance by the Office of the Prime Minister). FJT is identical in offset to New Zealand Standard Time (NZST), Tuvalu Time, Marshall Islands Time, Wallis and Futuna Time, and Nauru Time. Fiji is one of the first inhabited countries to see each new calendar day (along with Kiribati's Line Islands at UTC+14 — the world's eastern-most permanent time zone), which has made Fiji a popular destination for 'first sunrise of the new year' tourism. FJT serves approximately 935,000 Fijian citizens across 332 islands (110 inhabited) including Viti Levu, Vanua Levu, Taveuni, Kadavu. Major FJT cities: Suva (94K city, 175K metro — capital on Viti Levu), Nadi (45K — main international airport gateway + tourism hub on western Viti Levu), Lautoka (53K — second-largest city), Labasa (28K — Vanua Levu commercial center), Ba (15K), Levuka (1K — historic former capital + UNESCO World Heritage Site). Affects: South Pacific Stock Exchange (SPX) Suva trading, Fijian sugar-cane harvest export shipping, and Coral-coast + Mamanuca-island resort tourism.
About Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time, defined since 1972 as the time at the Prime Meridian (0° longitude) maintained by BIPM (Bureau International des Poids et Mesures) in Sèvres, France. UTC is computed as a weighted average of approximately 400 atomic clocks at ~80 national metrology institutes (NIST in the US, NPL in UK, PTB in Germany, NICT in Japan, KRISS in Korea, etc.) per the formal definition in ITU-R Recommendation TF.460-6 (2002). UTC is functionally identical to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) for civil purposes but differs slightly in its underlying timescale — UTC uses atomic seconds with occasional leap seconds inserted (announced by IERS Bulletin C ~6 months in advance, last leap second was December 31, 2016, and the system may be retired by 2035 per Resolution D of CGPM 2022). UTC is the standard for aviation (ICAO Annex 5), maritime navigation (IMO COLREGS), all internet protocols (NTP, PTP per IEEE 1588), all scientific publications, GPS / Galileo / GLONASS / BeiDou GNSS, and Universal Time on Wikipedia/Wikidata.
