The built-in variable hour in pine script refers to the hour in the exchange's timezone. I would like to have a variable called UTC_hour to refer to UTC timezone.
I am using pinescript v5.

1Why not use `hour()` built in parameter `timezone`? You can use `hour(time, "UTC")` – mr_statler Jan 08 '23 at 07:32

@mr_statler, could you put that down as the answer? I'll mark it as the right answer. Thanks. – user3848207 Jan 08 '23 at 07:44

The hour() function has a timezone parameter:
timezone (series string) Allows adjusting the returned value to a time zone specified in either UTC/GMT notation (e.g., "UTC-5", "GMT+0530") or as an IANA time zone database name (e.g., "America/New_York"). Optional. The default is syminfo.timezone.
You can use it like this to get the current bar time in UTC timezone:
hour(time, "UTC")
