Moment.js is not showing right time

I'm getting wrong time from momentjs when I pass UTC date time I expect it to convert to 7:30pm in Melbourne

Ex:

var myUTCTime = moment("2020-12-02 09:30:00.0000000 +00:00").utc();

Wed Dec 02 2020 09:30:00 GMT+0000

var melbourne = moment("2020-12-02 09:30:00.0000000 +00:00").utc().tz("Australia/Melbourne");

Wed Dec 02 2020 20:30:00 GMT+1100  

Expecting Melbourne to be Wed Dec 02 2020 19:30:00 GMT+1000  

7:30 PM (19:30) Melbourne Time = 9:30 AM (9:30) UTC

Following url shows the graph

Solution

  • That's taking Daylight Savings into account (observed in month of December).

    For other dates, it's just fine. I tried May.

    moment("2020-05-02 09:30:00.000 +00:00").utc().toString()
"Sat May 02 2020 09:30:00 GMT+0000"

moment("2020-05-02 09:30:00.000 +00:00").utc().tz("Australia/Melbourne").toString(); 
"Sat May 02 2020 19:30:00 GMT+1000"
