Lord Howe Daylight Time (LHDT)

Lord Howe Daylight Time (LHDT) operates at UTC+11 hours during the summer months when daylight saving is observed on Lord Howe Island, Australia. Also known as "Lord Howe Island Summer Time," LHDT shifts clocks forward by 30 minutes from Lord Howe Standard Time (LHST, UTC+10:30), helping to make better use of evening daylight on the island.

Importance and Global Use of LHDT

LHDT is essential for managing the unique daylight patterns of Lord Howe Island, supporting tourism, community activities, and local services during the summer period. By extending daylight in the evening, LHDT allows residents and visitors to enjoy more outdoor time and helps businesses align with mainland Australia's seasonal adjustments.

Internationally, Lord Howe Daylight Time provides a clear reference for airlines, shipping schedules, and tourism operators coordinating with the island. Its UTC+11 offset during summer simplifies travel planning and regional cooperation with Australia's eastern states and neighboring Pacific nations.
