utc

`utc()`

Creates a UTC-based Chronos instance.

static utc(dateLike?: ChronosInput): Chronos

dateLike (optional) – The date input to create a UTC-based time. If omitted, the current system date and time is used.

Chronos — A new Chronos instance representing the UTC equivalent of the given (or current) date.

Creates a Chronos instance based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
If no dateLike (string/number/object) is provided, it uses the current date and time.
This UTC instance is considered the base time, meaning all time zone conversions are derived from this reference point and not the local time.

Info

Internally, this method adjusts the local time to its UTC equivalent by removing the time zone offset.
