Upon re-reading my reply I noticed that it was too terse. date shows
UTC in your case because you did not set up your timezone
correctly. If you do, date will show your local time, date -u will
show UTC.

In my case, I set TZ to CST6CDT, which means time zone is CST, I'm 6 h
west of UTC, and my daylight savings time zone is CDT

regards,
Markus
