So currently my javascript in receiving timestamps like this:

tmpTimestamp = new Date(el.timestamp)
tmpTimestamp = tmpTimestamp.getTime()

And it it returning the date in milliseconds from epoch in UTC, but since I live in California I need this in GMT-7. I have tried:

tmpTimestamp = tmpTimestamp.getTime()-(tmpTimestamp.getTimezoneOffset()*60000)

But this does not seem to work, any help?

Timezone support in base Javascript is very limited. Have a look at https://momentjs.com/ – Cfreak Jun 20 '18 at 18:52

Since you have tagged highcharts, if this is indeed for highcharts, you can use: https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/time.timezone or https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/time.timezoneOffset – ewolden Jun 21 '18 at 09:38
