There are two ways to update your code. 1. Please open the file app.php file present in config directory at lool of your project. Go down the page and check Application Timezone where you will find

'timezone' => 'UTC',

Here you can add your timezone like

'timezone' => 'Europe/Paris',

If you want to manage your timezone from .env file, then you can add below code in your config.php file.

'timezone' => env('APP_TIMEZONE', 'UTC'),

and add the below line in your .env file.

APP_TIMEZONE='Europe/Paris'
