Updating Postgres Timezone

Run show timezone to see the current timezone on your postgres database:

my_db_test=# show timezone;
     TimeZone
------------------
 America/New_York

To alter the timezone:

alter database my_db_test set timezone to 'utc';

You might want to restart your psql session for the new timezone to apply.
