Hey Prefect, trying to find info on how to set my timezone, couldnt find anything <https://docs.prefect.io/api/latest/schedules/clocks.html#clock|here>.

Is there a way to make my Cron clock that fires at 1pm everyday ( be my 1pm ) `Australia/Sydney` time?

Hi <@U024LD633LK> - the easiest way to do that would be to use this cron string:
```0 23 * * *```
which will fire at 11PM UTC or 1PM AEST

Yes, it is just confusing to maintain UTC as our main timezone, is there a way to globally adjust it so that we can utilise our own local timezone <@UN6FTLFAS> ?

all our flows are very time specific to the local

Ah, then I'd suggest you pass a timezone-aware timestamp as the clock's `start_date`! For anyone else that reads this thread, you can read more about clocks and schedules <https://docs.prefect.io/core/concepts/schedules.html#cron-clocks|here>. :slightly_smiling_face:

Note that this will also auto-adjust for DST if the timezone you select is DST-observant
