Kosrae Time (KOST)
The differences between time zones to each other are always specified in relation to the "Universal Time Coordinated" (UTC), the time on the prime meridian (zero longitude). Phoenix, for example, is on the 122nd degree of longitude west and thus in the UTC-7 time zone. Kosrae Time is consistent with UTC +11.The Kosrae Time does not have an associated daylight saving time.
The Kosrae Time applies only to some parts of Federated States of Micronesia.
