What is the time difference between New Zealand and New York?

Were it not for Daylight Savings Time, New Zealand would be 17 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time. But since these two cities are in opposite hemispheres (New York in the Northern Hemisphere, and New Zealand in the Southern) they have opposite seasons (when it's winter in New Zealand, it's summer in New York, and vice versa). Because they have opposite seasons, New Zealand is on Daylight Savings Time when the U.S. is not, and the U.S. is on Daylight Savings Time when New Zealand is not. There are only a few weeks in a year when both are on Daylight Savings or Standard Time (as New York begins Daylight Savings a few weeks before New Zealand ends Daylight Savings, and vice versa). So, during the middle of the year (approximately March/April through September/November), New Zealand is 16 hours ahead of Eastern Daylight Time. During the rest of the year (approximately September/November to March/April) New Zealand is 18 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time. From late September (when New Zealand begins Daylight Savings) to early November (when New York ends Daylight Savings), and from mid-March (when Daylight Savings begins in New York) to early April (when it ends in New Zealand), New Zealand is 17 hours ahead of New York. Also, the Chatham Islands are 45 minutes ahead of mainland New Zealand. So, the Chatham Islands are 16 hours and 45 minutes ahead of Eastern Daylight Time, and 18 hours and 45 minutes ahead of Eastern Standard Time. So, in December, if it's 10 AM on a Tuesday in New Zealand, it is 4 PM Monday in New York City. In July, if it's 10 AM on a Tuesday in New Zealand, it's 6 PM Monday in New York City. From late September to early November, if it's 10 AM on a Tuesday in New Zealand, it's 5 PM Monday in New York City. Also, from mid-March to early April, if it's 10 AM on a Tuesday in New Zealand, it's 5 PM Monday in New York City.
