I published a small utility called set-tz which takes advantage of tzutil CLI command. When you call setTZ() it effectively changes your PC's timezone so beware-if you kill the process, you'll need to manually revert back after you're done-I am assuming you'r process is short-lived. If you don't kill your process, it will revert your original timezone back for you.
