As from [this link](https://www.timeanddate.com/time/aboututc.html), UTC is a standard, not a timezone – Rafael Eyng Aug 31 '17 at 13:39

Were you able to figure out how to get local dev server to be UTC on windows? – Noitidart Jun 10 '19 at 14:37

I published a small utility called set-tz which takes advantage of tzutil CLI command. When you call setTZ() it effectively changes your PC's timezone so beware-if you kill the process, you'll need to manually revert back after you're done-I am assuming you'r process is short-lived.
If you don't kill your process, it will revert your original timezone back for you.
