UTC time reporting

I use my sensor and the PurpleAir PA-II flex map to help guide me with pulmonary issues which means I’m very interested in local data (as many others are for a diversity of reasons, I’m sure). In any event the map is reporting data in UTC, which I think is new - or maybe its just my imagination. Regardless, that format is less helpful and more cumbersome for me. It would, on the other hand, be very helpful if there were a map option to change the time zone.
thanks

Hi @rmb-purpleair

The map should always reflect your time zone. You can also always find the timezone the map is using in the bottom left of the window below the scale.

Could you provide a little bit more information about what happened?

I began to wonder further about the cause of this when I noticed that the local time reporting was correct in my Android FireFox. The problem, it turns out, is a preference change in ‘about:config’ I recently made to the Firefox variable “resistFingerprinting” in Windows 10: I had changed if from ‘false’ to ‘true’. Changing it back to ‘false’ resolves this issue.
