@owocki, @mbeacom seems like switching to UTC timezone solves problem. I agree that dates should be stored in UTC format.

TIME_ZONE = env.str('TIME_ZONE', default='UTC')

What do You think about changing timezone ? Seems to be fundamental change and i'm not aware of all django internals and problems it might rise with current implementation.

Time zone funkiness is why I changed my life to be running on UTC, just one less thing to worry about :)

@kziemianek Agreed.

We should ensure we're storing UTC and implement: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/topics/i18n/timezones/

[owocki]

@mbeacom what do you think about changing settings.py:163 to set the default as UTC as a means of solving the original issue?
