Default Question about observing air frosts

In message , Brendan
DJ Murphy writes
Forgive the stupid question, but why do we all put a "Z" after all times?

I have always assumed that "Z" = "GMT" but what exactly does "Z" mean?

Brendan


From the military use to indicate which time zone is in use:

Z (referred to as zulu time) = GMT

and then A = GMT + 1 hour
B = GMT + 2

etc

Normally used thus: 280845Z Nov = 28 Nov 08:45 GMT
