Guam time zone — UTC+10:00 right now (ChST)
Guam, Guam, is currently on ChST (UTC+10:00) — 10 hours ahead of UTC. Use Pacific/Guam in code, never the abbreviation and never a hard-coded offset.
The identifier to put in your code
ChST is a label, not an identifier. Abbreviations are unregistered, they collide across regions, and no date library resolves them reliably. The IANA name carries the full history of this place's offset and daylight-saving rule changes, so code written against it keeps working when a government moves the clocks.
This page also answers to GUM — every one of them redirects here.
Daylight saving
Pacific/Guam is on ChST (UTC+10:00) — its standard clock.
no clock change scheduled — fixed at UTC+10:00 all year
Conversions involving this zone only shift when the other side changes its clocks.
