[SOLVED] Server time never updated for daylight savings. How do I update this?

Issue

So when the clocks went forward a few weeks ago the server time on my redhat linux server never changed. If I run date I get:

Tue Apr 14 16:07:18 UTC 2020

When the time here in the UK was 17:07.

How do I update this?


Solution

Try to update tzdata by running:

yum update tzdata

If you're on RHEL 7 an additional check is using timedatectl:

timedatectl | grep DST
