Rails 3: How to get today's date in specific timezone?

Question

To get today\'s date I do:

Date.today    # => Fri, 20 May 2011

I would like to get today\'s date in a specific timezone, say \'Melbour

Answer 1

Date.current

Date.current is probably the most clear and succinct way, and was added in Rails 3.

$ Date.current
#=> Sat, 14 Jul 2018
