About UTC+13
UTC+13 is 13 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time: when it is noon UTC, it is 1:00 AM at UTC+13 the next day.
4 zones keep UTC+13 all year, covering 4 countries or territories: Samoa, Tonga, Tokelau and Kiribati.
1 zone reaches it only in summer, from standard time UTC+12, for example Auckland. So the set of places on UTC+13 changes twice a year.
UTC+13 is beyond the usual ±12 hours: places here sit west of the date line in calendar terms, so they are among the first to start each new day.
For a fixed offset in software, tzdata provides Etc/GMT-13; note the inverted sign of these POSIX-style names.
Abbreviations for UTC+13: NZDT (New Zealand Daylight Time).
UTC+13 and the sun
Across the large cities that keep UTC+13 all year, the clock runs 1467 minutes ahead of mean solar time in Apia (-171.8°) and 1481 minutes ahead of it in Nuku‘alofa (-175.2°). The offset’s own meridian is 195° east: the further a city lies from it, the further its clocks drift from the sun.

UTC+13 converted to other offsets
Fixed offsets only, so the table holds on any date; a city that observes daylight saving time is an hour later than its standard column in summer.
