Phoenix, for example, is on the 122nd degree of longitude west and thus in the UTC-7 time zone. Australian Western Standard Time is consistent with UTC +8.The Australian Western Standard Time does not have an associated daylight saving time.
The Australian Western Standard Time applies only to some parts of Australia.
