AZOST समय क्षेत्र — अर्थ, UTC ऑफसेट.

AZOST sits exactly at the UTC meridian, which is why it shows up as a baseline rather than a regional clock. In practice it is read inside Atlantic, Pacific, or Indian Ocean island cluster, where the leading city anchors are Ponta Delgada, Portugal.

AZOST is unusually unambiguous: it ties to a single country and a single IANA zone, which is closer to a national clock label than a multi-region abbreviation.

AZOST shows up on airline schedules, weather bulletins, and Pacific shipping notices more than on office calendars. AZOST can also flip to a sibling daylight-saving abbreviation later in the year, so timestamps before and after the change need to be read carefully.

Portugal sits in Europe, specifically Southern Europe. Population 10,749,635, area 92,090 km², capital Lisbon. Civic markers behind AZOST include Portuguese and EUR (euro, €).

Ponta Delgada is the clearest city-level anchor: Ponta Delgada is the largest municipality (concelho) and executive capital of the Autonomous Region of the Azores in Portugal. It is located on São Miguel Island, the largest and most populous in the archipelago. As of 2021, it has 67,287 inhabitants, in an area of 232.99 square kilometres. There are 17,629 residents in the three central civil parishes that comprise the historical city: São Pedro, São Sebastião, and São José. Ponta Delgada became the region's administrative capital under the revised constitution of 1976; the judiciary and Catholic See remained in the historical capital of Angra do Heroísmo while the Legislative Assembly of the Azores was established in Horta.
