Time in Nauru
Time in Nauru is given by Nauru Time (NRT; UTC+12:00),[1] also known infrequently as "Nauru Alternate Time". Nauru does not have an associated daylight saving time.[2]
UTC+12:00 is not officially the legal time, however, due to the peculiar way the legislative Nauru Standard Time Act 1978 is worded, which proposed adopting either "Nauru Standard Time" as UTC+11:00, or "Nauru Alternate Time" as UTC+12:00.[3] The latter time is commonly used however.[4]
