Daylight saving time
Apia does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on Samoa Standard Time (UTC+13) all year. That makes the gap to places that do switch, like New York or London, change by an hour twice a year.
Good to know
Samoa jumped across the International Date Line at the end of 2011, skipping December 30 entirely, so it now shares a calendar day with Australia and New Zealand.
