For ex. Sydney +10h versus Paris +1h, there is a difference of 9 hours, so Sydney is always 9 hours ahead of Paris in standard time. Although due to their opposite latitudes, their different time changes mean that they never coincide in standard time.
• As of (first Sunday in October) with the start of Australian daylight saving time, Sydney is +11h while Europe (still with daylight saving time from March) Paris is +2h, so Sydney will be 9 hours ahead of Paris.
• As of (last Sunday in October) with the return to Europe standard time, Paris is +1h and Sydney is +11h, so Sydney will be 10 hours ahead of Paris, difference that is maintained until the last Sunday of March of the following year.
• As of (last Sunday in March of the following year) with the start of daylight saving time in Europe, Paris is +2h and Sydney is +11h, so Sydney will be 9 hours ahead of Paris.
• As of (first Sunday in April) with the return to Australian Standard Time, Sydney is +10h and Paris is +2h, so Sydney will be 8 hours ahead of Paris.
