Macau Standard Time (abbreviation: MST; Portuguese: Hora Oficial de Macau;[1] Chinese: 澳門標準時間; Jyutping: ou3 mun2 biu1 zeon2 si4 gaan1) is the time zone in Macau. It is 8 hours ahead of UTC (UTC+8) all year, and daylight saving time has not been applied since 1980.[2] The Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau is the official timekeeper of the Macau Standard Time.[3] It is indicated as Asia/Macau in the IANA time zone database.
