For casual use, UTC is the same as GMT, but is used by the scientific community. UTC is the time standard commonly used across the world since 1972.
What is the UTC time zone
Prior to 1972, this time was called Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) but is now referred to as Coordinated Universal Time or Universal Time Coordinated (UTC). It is a coordinated time scale, maintained by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM). It is also known as "Z time" or "Zulu Time".

Why is GMT called UTC
Originally, astronomers considered a GMT day to start at noon, while for almost everyone else it started at midnight. To avoid confusion, the name Universal Time was introduced in 1928 to denote GMT as counted from midnight. Today, Universal Time usually refers to UTC or UT1.
What is UTC and GMT
GMT is a time zone officially used in some European and African countries. The time can be displayed using both the 24-hour format (0 – 24) or the 12-hour format (1 – 12 am/pm). UTC is not a time zone, but a time standard that is the basis for civil time and time zones worldwide.
Is UTC time the same for all countries
All time zones are defined by their offset from UTC. The offset is expressed as either UTC- or UTC+ and the number of hours and minutes. Primarily, UTC is based on mean solar time at the prime meridian running through Greenwich, UK. For every 15 degrees of longitude east or west, mean solar time changes by 1 hour.
Is London +1 UTC
The United Kingdom uses Greenwich Mean Time or Western European Time (UTC) and British Summer Time or Western European Summer Time (UTC+01:00).
Why is London UTC 1
London is on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) only during winter months. The GMT time zone has the same hour offset (GMT+0) as the Western European Standard Time Zone. When Daylight Saving Time starts, London and the whole of UK are on British Summer Time (BST), which is GMT+1.

How do you read UTC time
Examples of how to convert UTC to your local time
To convert 18:00 UTC (6:00 p.m.) into your local time, subtract 6 hours, to get 12 noon CST. During daylight saving (summer) time, you would only subtract 5 hours, so 18:00 UTC would convert to 1:00 p.m CDT. Note that the U.S. uses a 12-hour format with a.m. and p.m.
Why is UTC called GMT
Sometimes, people interchanged the two because they think that they are similar when in fact, these two are different. UTC stands for Coordinated Universal Time, a time standard and a basis for many time zones. On the other hand, GMT refers to Greenwich Mean Time, which is a specific time zone.
What is the difference between UTC and UTC 1
UTC+1 timing
UTC+01 is a time offset that adds 1 hour to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). It is observed in the CET, WAT during standard time, and in the BST, IST, WEST during the other months (Daylight saving time).
Why is it called UTC and not GMT
Although there was GMT, a committee at the United Nations officially adopted UTC as a standard. This is because it is more accurate than GMT for setting clocks.
Why is France UTC+1
France, Holland, Luxembourg and Belgium were all originally in the same time zone as the UK, but Germany changed their time to match the German zone (one hour ahead of the UK) during their occupation of those countries during the war. Meanwhile, Spanish dictator Franco changed the time to an hour ahead in Spain too.
What is UTC in 24-hour format
UTC uses 24-hour (military) time notation and is based on the local standard time on the 0° longitude meridian which runs through Greenwich, England. Midnight in Greenwich corresponds to 00:00 UTC, noon corresponds to 12:00 UTC, and so on.

How do you convert UTC to local time
Add the local time offset to the UTC time. For example, if your local time offset is -5:00, and if the UTC time is shown as 11:00, add -5 to 11. The time setting when adjusted for offset is 06:00 (6:00 A.M.). Note The date also follows UTC format.
Is Paris UTC +1 or +2
Metropolitan France uses Central European Time (heure d'Europe centrale, UTC+01:00) as its standard time, and observes Central European Summer Time (heure d'été d'Europe centrale, UTC+02:00) from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October.
