That would be a bad idea for global data, since not all time zones are full 
hours apart, or have the same (if any) DST change-over dates. For example, 
India is currently at UTC+05:30, probably because they wrapped the entire 
country in the same TZ after their independence.

The original desire was to ignore DST, hence my suggestion. Normally you'd want to figure out the correct TZ for the lat/long.
