Meteoalarm timezone issue

I noticed that the values of the attributes “onset”, “effective” and “expires” does not follow the local timezone. as you can see in te screenshots below there is a 1 hour shift in the future.

I expect the information of a certain region will follow the timezone of that region.

What it zone have you specified in home assistant?

The lower screenshot uses CET.

Could this be an issue due to daylight savings?

In HomeAssistant i configured timezone Europe/ amsterdam which is CET. But actually we use cest in the summer. Maybe meteoalarm does not follow summertime which feels odd to me.

Looks like that’s what is causing the difference. Meteoalarm is displaying CET on the website and you are on CEST.

So There is no issue.

If the website displayed CEST the times would be the same. There may be a setting on the website to change it.

Actually, looks like a bug on “meteoalarm.eu”.
I compared the data provided by the Belgian meteo service and what is on meteoalarm, and while meteoalarm displays “CET”, it’s actually CEST.

But beside the fact that it should be named cest, is the displayed time on the website right?

I wouldn’t trust the timing too much.
I checked for a random France region, and the timing is completely off.

I also depends on the data quality the country meteo service sends to meteoalarm, I guess.
