NZDT is the abbreviation for New Zealand Daylight Time, a time zone offset of UTC+13. It applies in
New Zealand (summer).
It is the daylight-saving half of the year; in winter the same region switches to NZST (UTC+12).
Time-zone abbreviations are convenient but not unique or official — several codes are shared by
more than one zone. When precision matters, use the underlying IANA zone name (for example
Pacific/Auckland) or the UTC offset UTC+13 instead.
