[R] Force conversion of (POSIXct) time zone with base R

[Iago Giné Vázquez]

Hi,

How should POSIXct time zone be changed without modifying the specified time (so fix the time zone). I tried

> now <- Sys.time()
> now
[1] "2024-08-22 10:56:24 CEST"
> as.POSIXct(now, tz = "UTC")
[1] "2024-08-22 08:56:24 UTC"
> as.POSIXct(now, origin = as.POSIXct("1970-01-01", tz = "UTC"), tz = "UTC")
[1] "2024-08-22 08:56:24 UTC"
> format(now, tz = "UTC")
[1] "2024-08-22 08:56:24"

But I want
"2024-08-22 10:56:24 UTC"

Thanks!

Best regards,
Iago
