Usually, all advisories globally are issued at 00, 06, 12, and 18Z. Otherwise, they are issued at 03, 09, 15, and 21Z (like the NHC/CPHC).

no...GMT stays the same...it doesnt change...that is why you have to subtract 5 hours sometimes and at other times only 4 hours to get the Eastern Time...

Exactly. All tropical advisories are issued based on UTC. Matter of fact... most meteorology in general is done in UTC. That's why it's a MUCH better idea to monitor tropical cyclones in UTC than in Eastern Time--it's more uniform since DST isn't involved.
