Time zone and UTC offset at a point
astroway_geo_timezoneRead-onlyIdempotent
The IANA zone at a point and the UTC offset its clocks kept at that local date and time, from the tz database, never a fixed offset: Kyiv answers +2 in January, +3 in July and +4 on 15 May 1990, when it kept Moscow summer time. time defaults to 12:00 and matters on the day clocks change; a skipped hour resolves to the offset from before the change, a repeated one to its first occurrence. standardOffset is the smaller of the year's offsets and isDst is true when the clock is ahead of it.
